a disagreeable blessing


a moment of bliss

it’s that time before consciousness of inarticulate awareness

it’s the dawn of self-consciousness,
I only just perceiving it is,
wherein all you understand
is the contented sentiment
of existence
before the spoiler of reflection

profundity is like a great smog,
the reaching ever further into the heavens
to drag them down into our heads,
the very thing which prevents us
from getting our heads 
into the heavens (cf. Chesterton)

as i lay in cool sheets,
the fan encouraging the breeze
to blow over my contented face,
i prolong the nostalgic experience
of existing as my primate ancestors

: a lack of that vile blessing, my mind
