Sound Bites: May 10, 2024

Kurt Philip Behm

If true

that old age

is but a bad habit …

 what can youth become

 

_____

 

Divorcing passion

from intellect

Two orphans

created

Homeless together

— inside of one soul

 

_____

 

If you want

to be free

First

be a prisoner

A captive

of prescience

An inmate

— of self

 

-------

 

Contradiction …

a privilege of freedom

 

--------

 

Knowledge is a prison

— and freedom its bars

 

--------

 

The pedantic

philosopher

Indistinguishable

— from the fool

 

(Dreamsleep: May, 2024)
