Whoawhoa had to write this down

                                      reaching for the pen tucked behind his ear he fumbled it

it clattered on the sidewalk

leaning over to snatch it off the concreteheard a queer sound to his right mind whispered Animal vegetable mineral

Hold your tongue knaveDisrespect he spoke too soonknew better than shoot from the hip  five kingdoms of life animals plants fungi bacteria protists  latter includes all the single-celled forms that are not bacteria

   he heard life living

still bent over he looked rightlooked through a chainlinked fence he was face to face it cringed  therefore he had to accommodate a faceness a sunflower   bent over as he was

he slowly straightened

it mimed him

stood completely upright  six-one

                                  six-twothree sunflower its inflorescence ray florets disk florets bracts combined were bigger than his headbut not by much

a skinny dude  adolescent

                             then reading his mindthey were communicating that way

You’d be tempted to jump.

Whose the cat

Soren like the name   Kierkegaard

Battleground   Existence

Yes Having to make either/or decisions every step of the way

Which you likened to trees

                            Their crowns rootsgive it a heftyspin no matter to you if it arrests one way or the other

                            One emergent bathed in air  other submergent cloaked in earth

Lets take it out furthur

Im listening 

             Like your Keseyspelling

Thanks 

        The constant choosing brings pervasive anxiety

Im not anxious

No Somehow youre not

                         Its likened to the vertigo that comes from looking over a cliff

Or from a very high place

                           No railing

Its not the fear of falling

No

The fear of being unable to trust yourself not to throw yourself off

   There is tha

You want to cling to something

No I said theres nothing to cling to  Theres no railing

You want to tie yourself down

No  How is tha free

   So you cant  secureyourself easily  against the dangers of being free

Enter Kierkegaards pronouncement 

                                      Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom.  As we live on the edge of that Precipice

You know what you needgiven your admitted proclivity or temptation

I believe I do

   What

Roots bro 

              Roots

Took the words out of my . . . 

Inflorescence 

   That will have to suffice
