unless and until a move is crisp and clean

stripped of a reaction

an agenda

or another person in mind

stripped of the need (and all the words)

to explain

to justify

to prove

to get

to build a bridge where none is required

to soften or avoid the razor’s edge of truth

until you reach that specific point

the zero point

where nothing matters at all

the power and impact of that move is diluted and effectively made limp

turning it into yet another messy bit amongst other messy bits

blending in

not standing out

so what’s the fucking point?

that trying-but-not-hitting-the-spot move

that tainted / muddy / laced-with-matter move

that spilling-over-because-you-have-collapsed move

won’t do a damn thing except keep that mess in place

because a weak and sloppy move is not sharp enough

it’s not potent enough

and it certainly can’t be felt deeply enough

to rattle

to collapse

to erect what needs erecting

it can’t pierce the veil

like a clean move can

a move that’s made

because it’s true

not for anyone

or anything

else
