Saul Williams

His work speaks on its own.


yes, the moon is full
on every night
and every night
is every day

it matters not
which part of you
is lit by the sun
i have adjusted my eyes
to the darkness
and black
has never been more luminous

i am witness
to your circumference
i no longer need the sun
to see you

even time is phosphorescent
and your crescent shape
is only an illusion
~
it is we that are emaciated
our bodies subject
to our minds propaganda
forgive the distinction
but intellect fares
moment's genocide
and we should have kissed
hours ago

you hold your breath
when you should hold your tongue
and hold your tongue
when you should hold my hand
and i should delegate
more authority to myself
but i can't help thinking
that you are thinking
thinking
what is she thinking?
~
i don't trust the man
that i am becoming
he seems to much
and seldom is
~
and the thing is
the only reason
why i have difficulty
trusting you
is because i know
how easy it has become
for me to lie
~
to aim
is to take oneself too seriously
by focusing without instead of within

re arrange and re member

aim ... i am

the right letters are there
it's the wrong composition
