Values — Summary

Fall out of loop with my values. Drown it out with the sound of flutes. Where are my values What are my truths.

In just four lines, the speaker admits to drifting away from what they believe in. They say they have "fall[en] out of loop" with their values, as if those values were a routine or a group chat they stopped keeping up with, not something dramatic they betrayed. That casual phrasing makes the loss feel quietly ordinary, which is part of what makes it unsettling.

The second line adds a twist: the speaker drowns the values out "with the sound of flutes." Flutes are light and pleasant, so the speaker seems to be covering a nagging inner voice with something pretty and distracting. It reads like avoidance, not a clear decision.

Then the tone shifts to open questions: "Where are my values / What are my truths." The missing question mark on the last line makes it feel unfinished, almost flat, as if the speaker is too tired or unsure to press for an answer. The mood is restless and uneasy, a moment of waking up and realizing something important has gone missing.

For Sale

Sell me pieces of your life. Trinkets for me to gorge upon. Crows pecking on your skull. Existing evermore beyond the light.

Loops in Time

Travel through the swirly mess. Upside down, right side up, another test. Back, slide, and flipped. Head smashed in.

Will It All Be Okay Tomorrow?

Will the trampoline be secure. Will the lamppost fall on my car. Will the tiles stay on the roof. Will the wind stop howling.
