untitled


beat beat beating

pound pound pounding

Is it a heart?

A fist?

A drum?

A speaker?

Is it all not the same?

Isn't everything that makes this sound of purpose worth the same?

 

mean mean meaning

truly labeling something is mean

it can't be nice to define something

adding a connotation to it

assigning it forever to be one side

on side of a double edged sword.
