and why potential?

Here's a wasted line.

Out of all words it being the most damning

as opposed to it being the most damning of all words

passive aggressive, as if it matters, to meaning transference,

or did it matter for transferring meaning?

Do you follow?

potential is overrated

uncalculable significant guess work and magic in one easy to consume

gift

sometimes not given

or delivered.

No Christmas coming.

There's no stronger way to put the world on one's shoulders as

heavy

titanic

a crushing load that can sink quickly

despite the optimism of hope flowing from

– is it freedom from or freedom to –

and as if that matters,

we're talking potential.

 

One is free to walk down the aisles or sections

of any city-paved street

provincial or federal park sanctioned

reserve land

or packet of earth otherwise laid claim to

completely free 

in the freest of free ways

and to hell with the price of freedom in a bigger picture.

 

freedom condemns you to try to live up to the potential set out for you

and it's your fault whether you stumble succeed or hit the ball the

fuck

out of the park.

well,

bar down

and to hell with you.
