property which distinguishes living from non-living matter

I am not going to
change myself today,
change myself tomorrow.
It's in the mundane
anxiety and stress
where I change.
I change in the now,
before the now is
where now lives.
Now is something
which never was alive.
You can't change change.
Change is infinite decimal places.

Living dead

untitled

roots
churning the earth with their stillness

before an eye that sees a sun,

that receives its nourishing

deception.

Irradiating lies,

like the warmth on your skin

perambulating in

the afternoon.
