know has beaten hope

there are larger
concepts in life
than personal
happiness

more
imperative
essential
as
breath

never
used
to think 
this

television is
based on
principals
against 
this

society
medicine
mind fucks
all

against this

and i may have
lived my life to
work against this
until now

until the 
sunrise

until the glistening reed
got slick under
hands
between my
fastened eye and the
sun

until spring's swelled stream
overwhelmed a clutching
belly's urges
forced participant
to forget that sun
and let go

dare to drift
down stream
passenger prophet

escape the 
billboards
of
selfish freedom

know 
has beaten 
hope 

larger goals
beg our reasons for being
than personal 
happiness as

i go floating
down this river
like tadpole jesus
thinking
happiness
is harder than
hard work
and easy and
contentment,
merely that
and
that all i really wanted
to direct focus on
was the difference
between the two
