My enemy is bastards within—collectively the Beast—enemy? Maybe that’s wrong—I don’t<br />
know what the Beast is—but the word conjures up a presence I feel—a bodiless mass<br />
capable of affecting mental & physical reality—<br />
<strong>The</strong> Beast is me, is the world, God not as man-shaped but as world-shaped—yet not good<br />
nor bad but what said so by some soul at some hour—<br />
Manifest—here to manifest—all here to manifest—not a purpose but what is, what<br />
happens—what next in glimpse, guesses, clues at best—<br />
What then? How does this help? What guidance, what path?<br />
Beast cares much, little, gives no fuck—<br />
In a way I am grappling the deeply rooted human idea of mortality, of time as<br />
linear & one’s fate the ground one year or another—<br />
I believe & don’t believe—that is, I reck what I know yet call it incomplete &<br />
thus possibly inaccurate—<br />
I dispute without an answer of my own—<br />
