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.
