the answer

can't fight genetics
and i have the genetic code
of three obsidian rocks
twisted together on a
mountain side
during a kite-flying
kind of day

can't fight the math
and i am the subtraction
of distilled water
without the oxygen
can't catch my breath
can't fight my thirst
to gulp the whole ocean

can't fight the language
and i am the interpretation
of all the words that
mean 'why?'
like truest obscurity
i can't find
the answer to myself
