THE KNOWING

THE KNOWING
4/29/96

Fuck the name that made me “real”
Like fire
real is experience to skin
And all the vague degrees that lie within
It will not be denied
It will leave a scar
Is that knowledge
And is wisdom the same?
Or is that when you’ve learned not to get burned?
It is bigger
Ingredient secret under skin
Metaphysical?
Their definitions sometimes seem the same
And I escape the difference
Between the being and the name
I see
When my name becomes the fuck
The illusion is the real
And by now you the meaning is not the same
