The Plastics of my Wisdom

At the vanish of the dusk
My windows pointing towards me
And calling me a fool

Baffled by how much I got to know
That I don’t know
Saddened by how much i have to have
That i haven’t had

If I were a plumber
I’d do nothing much
Than learning the wrenches
From the crunching channel-tube

Memorize the diameters
And loving the pliers
Like my first daughter

As a carpenter
Such like closing my lips to the nails
Glue my fingers to the hammers
And admiring my wife from the roof-top

Hating that I know best
Exceptionally’
Prior to nothing

Yet the sun fierce down
exhausting the aluminum roof
Like every little thoughts in my hex

Such like
A toyota geep
From a plastic highway
Parked affront an enchanted bungalow
And every other dreams on a plume cushion

The legend of the golden brains
Prospers as a spoonful fool
Belittled by his loudest destiny

I lurched into the woods
Admiring every other knowledge in the sea
Like every shiner wheels in the neigborhood

    “Like every little thoughts in my hex”

    ‘thoughts’ should be replaced with ‘thought’…I think.

    I don’t think I understand this one…

    Partially understood.
    I think you’re talking about ‘futile’ dreams; coming home each day to find out you’re still where you are?

    A tad difficult to grasp.
    But I’m sure you tried.

    I am with eletrika on this one…I think this is about realizing that You know next to nothing in a world where knowledge thrives and knowing that U can’t go any farther than the level U find urself in….
