“Energy” as in an act
Of pure creation
Making something out of nothing
Knowing nothing isn’t nothing
It is carbon, it’s the ether, it is plasma, it’s the spark
And the blank canvas
Your fingers caress the loving smooth
And cool metallic surface of
An electrical socket
It is all about perspective
And you know?
My perspective comes from making shit
You didn’t see coming
Do something out of nothing
Do something better than you thought you could
Do something beautiful
Do something.
Because the only thing that ever changed the world
Was someone saying enough is not enough and
Good enough is never good enough
And greatness never great as that
Which slips through the fingers of gods and geniuses
Carbon is the charred remains of everything
That we held dear
Oh dear, that is so two years ago
And so I burned a calendar.
Carbon.
And I know that ether is not a place
Where god weilds paintbrushes and electric fingertips
It is the energy inside my heart when I get
Mad and sad and angry and horny and happy and pissed the fuck off
And it says
Use your words, god damnit.
Create something
Create your way and path
Create a love letter to the cosmos
Create your art
Create your future
Create your change
Create.
