Is Peace Boring?

I could write from my shadow

Or about Plato’s cave


I could write about how fucked up the world is

Or how no one wants to do anything to change


I could write about the chaos, beauty and symmetry of nature

Or how we try to project our order onto chaos


I could write as a child

Or a man right before dying of old age


I could write about meaning

Or how mundane life can feel


I could write about courage

And free-will

Or I could write about hope

Whatever that is


I can go back to God

Him and I are always fighting


I could write about a sex addict

Or about a modern Alchemist


I could write about music

And food

Or I could write about traffic


Of course

I can always keep writing about

Sex


But

What I can’t write about right now is


Love


And that’s because

I don’t feel much of it

I am not currently

Tortured

By love

I am not

Trapped inside it’s spell

I am

Loveless

And it is always

So much more

Peaceful

This way.


I’m not supposed to be writing about writing

But I made that rule for myself

And I can break it if I want to


This is my world

And y’all are just reading it

And this is a world without

Love

And it is so


Peaceful



But also




A little more




Boring.

A few years ago, there was rattling noise coming from one of the wheels on my car. I took it into the shop, and a man handed me a bunch of bolts and nuts, and things that I had no idea what they were.

They danced together. They kissed each other. They smelled the other one. They held onto each other tightly. They fell in love. Then, they got married. They went on a honeymoon. They made a child. The
