the last rites of sameness 8/12/19


my fascination with sameness
obviously it is not the object
that is of primary interest
it is more so the viewing of it
who of me who sees or senses
that feeds that information to whom
that whom of me that lives in conclusions
that references the what of it 
in a comparative way as its means
and then wildly arrives at a response
the reappearance of sameness
what clipped sense of expediency is served
who is benefited by that cursory response
what agenda plays havoc with what is sensed
that observation has no carriage of worth
outside the self-serving appraisal of view
how does my experience provide for this
I live for the variety and the uniqueness to abound
and yet my regulatory is set up to account
for, of all things, the insight of sameness around
this is not an existential remark to say
it is a misuse of my sensory range
it is living for sensory reductionism
to feed a conclusionary mind to pasture
what is the benefit for me with that
a prison of my own making
without the wherewithal to notice first hand
I did not want to turn my senses into cursory spies
I wanted them for discovery 
and the impetus for adventure
not the numbing of boredom highlighted as such
sameness as a report is a misuse of curious
an obstruction of inquisitiveness as effort’s goal
this is the slow death of comparative truth
if sameness is what I get.
sensory was to be the lead dog of a life of adventure
not the junkyard dog chained on a hill
fascination with the end-product of sameness
is a slow death from the inside out
brain numb and so death come sooner
maybe it’s just that sameness as a conclusion sucks
sameness dressed up in conclusion’s wake
is just that!
funeral services to be held 
at the vigil of observation . . .
