belmondo

i know i have squandered
most of my life
in a haze of trivial distractions,
and i will continue to waste it.
but wherever i was going, i don't care anymore,
because no place i could arrive at
is good enough for this, this thing made out of experience
but to which experience will never measure up.
and the dark and soaring fact
is enough to make me renounce the whole world
or fall in love with it forever.
