Drowning in the mainstream
Pulled under
By public pressure

Living in shells of isolated connection
Lighting up faces consumed with mild apprehension
Emotions felt no greater
Than they are expressed
By the shaking of hands
And pointing of fingers
And the blameless worship
on convenient altars
Of reflections
Of ourselves
Or at least
As we deem to be
Observed
By our peers
Casting these moments
At the feet
Of those
Who surround us
And digest the memories
We call sentimental and dear

Unable to remember what is gone
Only that it has been forgotten

Times now known to be gone
Foster great regret
For they were not cherished
Until looked back upon
Even this known fate
Will inevitably fade
When hindsight is blinded
By yesterday

The only things that we see
Are only things to be seen
Constant attention they too demand
Distrustful eyes invading our psyche
Peering spies pouring over each person
Prying into our most private possessions
Sacred seclusion is sacrificed to secular ceremony

Is the explorer defined by their ability to find home
To seek familiar shores
No longer among the chaos of a tumultuous sea
No longer floating above a deep expanse
Or is it willing to traverse the depth
And acknowledging the necessity
To disregard
The chasm below
For to contemplate the mystery beneath
Would surely incite sheer terror
Is it a confrontation of this horror that we record into legend
Or are the heedless revered
No longer ignorant
And therefore paralyzed
By the awareness now held

Mouths unable to speak
Eyes unable to witness
This disturbing absence
Confronting our horizons gaze
Like desert sand
That has been frozen
Vacillating between
A Capgras delusion
Or accurate analysis of observation

But what is this death
For whatever will these thoughts produce
But realizing the distance between existence
And our best predicted outcome
Thinking we will all be our own childhoods hero
And enact our noble ideals only to discover
A fluid transition between novel and precedent
Is it because the world didn't reflect what we thought it would be
Or did we fail the standards of our own youth
Using comfort to justify our own moral relativism
And insulate from inflexible inevitability
But can this be pursued
As we deem it so
Are these the seeds we've sown

Behold this hollow shell
A once formidable mountain
As it stood tall
Revealing itself
As only a feeble cave
A countenance of fortitude
Crumbled beneath its weight
Into a vacuous interior
Mysterious calderas of volcanoes past

Birds of Kantian appeal
Free fall from what they feel
Aren't heights of hubris
But smothering skies

Landing in fields of Chesterton
Not caring what is done
To the fences all around
They're arrogant lies

Unable to remember why it's there
Only that its purpose has been forgotten
Unable to remember what is lost
Only that it has been forgotten
