A Window
Perhaps the only thing that belongs to you
is your belief that things are yours.
The illusion of continuity.
The seeming severity of serenity.
The insistence that one choose
a superficial depth or a deep superficiality.
I'm smart enough to know
I'm not smart enough to know.
Everyone wants to sell you the world
while only renting you a place in it.
Our rooms come furnished with fuel,
fueled with furnishings, furbishings.
Give me a large enough window and an enticing view,
and I shall defenestrate the world.
