Neurons in the brain rattle
gives a carpet of notions.
Some of them life changing
others a distracting everyday noise
Impossible to judge beforehand.
An icy solitude
not to be anyone withdraws.
So even the grinding impulse
to be someone by being the best.
Now life is a brittle stream
of minor events.
Easy to destroy
by listening to what others say
how things ought to be.
This way life became real
and the flame of life brittle and panting.
