An Urge to Flex Everything

Joseph M. GeraceLeave a comment
“I seem to be very and/or, / with an urge to flex everything until it loses / what I secretly feel to be its false polarity.”

‘Solidus’ by Ron Padgett

Why am I making myself
do and be things that I don’t really want to?
Because I have an idea of what I should be doing and/or
I don’t have an idea of what I really want to be and/or do.
And/or both. I seem to be very and/or,
with an urge to flex everything until it loses
what I secretly feel to be its false polarity.
E.g., there is a such thing as good and
such a thing as evil, it’s just
that they aren’t opposites.
Am I a good person? Yes, after
a certain point, and no, after another.
Deep down I’m just down there, a kind of gurgling
black Jell-O that doesn’t have any idea
of what’s going on up here. Up here
I have on a baseball cap and have
a vague desire to fix the closet door.

“Each game skill level provides general difficulty settings that allow a greater variety of players to enjoy the game.”

          this is 
      the 
skill level problem in analyzing novices
their feelings, frequency of 
    exacerbated feelings, frequency of the game, all emotion rates. 
    Because 
       their 
       feelings, silhouette mental health results 
      or might 
     want to currently collect cultural 
          norms their 
feelings, frequency of 
     players 
current colorful name sculpting bias. This the result of 
     thought 
results or the 
      skill level problem in analyzing 
   novices 
   “tough it 
out.”
