Remember to forget

What is it to know? 

What is knowledge 

The bedrock of my security 

Reason I make money 

The machine 

The inner working of mind 

The existence of mind 

The surfboard 

The vehicle 

The road 

This is knowledge without which I feel insecure 

I am something 

I know that 

If I lose what I know I have become senile 

I must remember where everything is 

What I did 

What I ate 

Where I am 

Who you are 

If I don’t something is dearly wrong with me 

I am embarrassed because you look at me judge me 

Call me old 

Look after me 

Fuss over me 

You are confused by me 

I was normal with knowledge 

When I could make money 

That’s what it seemed 

What if I am normal now 

More normal than ever before 

What if I am free 

Except the moment where you remind me 

That I am lost 

Confused, Unsteady, broken 


Have I disrupted what was your life 

What you called normal 

Have I? 

Do you feel lost now confused without my memories of you 

You want me to remember you 

Want me to recognise

Go back to normal 

Mechanical / memories / storages 

You want to be relevant 

You want to use me 


So what if I remember you 

Is it a show 

Am I on tv 

Do I have to remember lines 


What will it benefit us to keep our memories 

Except for making money in the system that’s the economy 

Keeping us blind 

Keeping us busy 

Denying us beauty and joy 


Why do you insist so much on this recognition

Why have you placed such value on it 

Made it God 

I have remembered you before 

But this is not satisfactory for you 

I must remember you always 

To my own demise 

Till the end of me 


I must remember Dale, David, Dorothy, Daniel, Tom, Tim, Todd, Ron, Sean 

I must remember them all 

As though there will be a big exam 


Well here I am 

Speaking breathing walking with you 

Touching smelling singing with you 

Looking sitting eating with you 

That’s all I got 

That’s all I got

There Was A Time Before Algorithms

I know it’s going to sound strange but there was a time before algorithm   Where we basically made our own decisions Yes it sounds like we were out of rhythm   But actually we got to use our brains   People met each other offline   It was a fun time   Of-course there was no offline because there was no online   The only thing online was our brains   Now of-course our brains are offline our phones are online   Not that there is much of a difference between our phones and our brains   Haven’t you seen you go to sleep around the same time you leave your phone alone   Can’t function unless you are one with your phone So if your phone is your brain   Then what will your brain do? Anyway people met and spoke and determined if they would meet again  At an actual location, mostly outdoors, when the weather was right And you couldn’t just unsubscribe at the bottom of the email   You had to have a tough real conversation   Or r...

Love?

  The world understands love as dating and owning each other, having a person. Getting married to another person and all that jazz. Love in this way is someone that I will be jealous over. Someone that I will use for something, to get something out of them. To the world love is the person who carries my burdens, has to deal with my demons, my aggression, my flaws. Love also is not the contrary of all these things for if it were then it would not be love.   In the world a friend again is the person that you use/ abuse. When you need someone to burden and then fight with. Tell them your petty fights at work and mischievous things you find yourself entangled in.  What then is love? Love cannot be fenced into a description, precisely the word love is limited, it’s only a word and can be abused and is used and abused. Everyone uses that word even when they are drunk and when they make absolutely no sense. They use that word when they have abused their friends and want forgiven...

When people genuinely love each other there is no need for boundaries

When we love each other we do not need to set boundaries. Love overcomes the need for boundaries. It is when there is no love that boundaries exist.  If you love each other naturally you won’t hurt each other. However when there is contempt for each other we will hurt each other and then we will set boundaries.  Boundaries are not a natural part of our relationships. They are like borders, they are created because we have been hurt. They are created out of fear. When you become aware that someone can hurt you, you have to create a border / a boundary so that they do not hurt you.  Living in boundaries is limited. Rather live in love. We force ourselves into relationships that require boundaries as we have come to understand relationship as synonymous with conflict. We thrive from the ups and downs of relationships and thus we need boundaries from the very people that we say we love. Is it not possible to live without hurting each other?  Do you want to be in love or ...
