Make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought of doing, or been too hesitant to attempt. So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun. If you want to get more out of life, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty.
Jon Krakauer - Into the Wild

Rebuild.
Cannot close our eyes.

Construction paper traffic. Corner office destruction.
The cityscape burns brighter by the hour.
Clock tower, bring us all down.
Marching like ants to the foundation of a higher form.
Trash. Capped and smothered. Trash bag. Trash hat.

Feed me fear. (Informal gluttony.)

Construction paper lawns. Force-fed attention grabber.
When will you learn?
First come first serve.
The all you can eat trumpet. Playing the tunes of our death.
Breathe. Now blow. Now blow.

Let it be heard.

The preacher’s talent is going through the airwaves.
(I need to be led in the right direction. Set up the bumpers. Running in the gutter.)
The little kids taught me well.
But I wonder why they don’t listen anymore.
(It’s a television nightmare).
Eat and watch, eat eat eat. What they feed.
Corner office tubes. Give me the best view in the hut.

Feed me fear.

(Informal gluttony)
