congested

virtue for the virtuous—
what good is the truth if it's not acted upon?
knowledge of justice does not indicate the just,
wisdom is not wisdom without action.
perhaps I am not who I thought I was.
I am squinting,
peering through the clamor of the valley,
catching glimpses of the greatness to come.
storing sunbeams behind my ears
and polishing,
so much polishing.
Glaze, glossy
The Unquenchable Thirst
for
what
i think
i knew all along.
Abandonment of one
and my pursuit of another
and hoping
trusting
that it was just the fog all along.......

I have read this quite a few times and am really pissed: the imagery is awesome but I really want to understand your references...

Is my stuff this ambiguous?

Hm. Most of the time, yes, your stuff is.

Which is awesome, I think.
