BREAKING THE CONTAINERS

There’s nothing like almost dying


There’s nothing like being incarcerated in a shit-hole
-for focusing the mind


Only then

can you see

what is important

and

what is not


This business of living
This busy-ness of dying
all the containers 
in which you are contained


There’s nothing like almost dying
There’s nothing like being incarcerated
in a shit-hole
-for focusing the mind

Only then do you have

a fighting chance
of figuring it out.
