The timely discovery of a world of hermits

I walked away from childhood
when they changed my joy
to the currency of my nemesis
in amusement arcades
I walked away from learning
when I tasted the extraordinary
qualities of acid
and saw the world in action.
I walked away from convention
when I discovered my first boss
had quietly gone bust
and forgotten to pay my tax
but I am not a child
angrily riding his broken tricycle
towards the edge of a cliff
I embrace the power of love
and it’s better to struggle on
than fall into the cracks
unlike victimhood
failure is absolutely fine.
Who says there’s nothing
more decadent than a Sunday roast on a Monday
and why must we feel so appalled
when someone does things the wrong way?
Learning is for fools
commercial calculus the business
of snakes you won’t notice
till they’ve bitten you on the bum
and it’s too late to leave.
Determinism is for bruisers
destroyers of faith and beauty
the pursuit of scientific mastery
an algorithm that repeats on itself
a cosmic old fart.
Don’t be drawn in by their games
modern chaos is old school theory
and that’s just how they like it
the land time forgot.
Young reptiles will do anything
to stamp their mark on the quickest route
to the middle of the maze
they’ll make it look fun
with arrows on the grass
leading you nowhere for less
and you’ll even thank them
if you can find your way out.
Incarcerated
walking the wrong way
brings trouble
but we are free
to walk whichever way we please.
So let’s go the other way
let’s walk outwardly
together
from the middle of the maze.
