You’re tired of subdividing
everything, breaking
down the whole so
you can better understand
the whole — no one cares
about the whole because
no one can handle the whole.
You are not a person
but a series of quarks,
each tendon only a fraction
of energy. And now that
you’ve realized this
you’ve become a slave
to the business of
asphyxiating quarks
so that eventually you can
get to nothing. You’re
thinking everyone
could handle you best
if you were nothing.
