we are transient
balls of energy
suffused through
meat golems
passing from
one instance
to another
no direction
no goal
just moving from
one state of
being to another

there is a magic
hidden there
beneath the rot
and the agonies
in the search
for the right
chemicals to be
dumped in
electrified gelatin
that gives us
a purpose
bigger than ourselves

i find that
in you
and that far
outweighs
the lingering
side effects
of existing
