have you ever thought about it?

since october we have spent our days trying to be proper.
remember all the words spoken with much caution
and all the things done with utmost care?
february now, and still haven't we mastered
the art of being ourselves with ourselves.
if it is the fear that should keep us well behaved
(the way we would want to think of, as the way to be -
not to hurt nor to cross the boundaries of personal space)
we might not have to take these fears seriously
for what lies in real without the put on proper-ness
in the absense of unspeakable fears
beyond every definition of perceived reality
could be much more brilliant and vibrant.
