30 May

seeking satisfaction. catharsis.
for some kind of strange yearning:
like an impossible memory

as i lived a life that i see displayed
i felt that perpetual self-image
invading insidiously

even becoming what i want
as a consumer product
some kind of urban trend
that i have assimilated somehow
subjecting myself to the city
the constant pulsing of life against life
against instinct
an artificial reality

I will always feel like a poser in this city
until I personally know every person I see

appreciating art
as a matter of course
what i created
when no one was watching

and i don't wear it
so you can't see it
and my life is not art's
it belongs to image
