Omissions by Decision

Lyrics

Intro (Spoken)
Omissions by decision.

Verse (Spoken, flowing)
Can thinking 'bout the future get me pumped about this moment?
As I foment, I'm so mint—menthol cools with pools of drool
For what could be.
Would be, should he decide to change
And rearrange his deranged conditional.
Sage subliminal—only sharpness submitable.
He's so formidable, two-or-more initials in the middles.
Prefix riddles, suffix quibbles,
Defended nibbles just to feel okay.

Turn (Cadence tightens)
Opinions and positions—
It's time to pray.

Outro (Spoken, clear)
Omissions by decision.
No other way.

Interpretation

Future-orientation as selective blindness. The poem interrogates whether anticipation energizes presence or replaces it. Thought spirals—clever, sharp, self-protective—become a way to manage anxiety through positioning, labels, and opinion scaffolding. "Omissions by decision" names the quiet cost: what's excluded to feel okay. Prayer here is not religious certainty but surrender to limits—choosing what not to carry. Emotional vector: mental acceleration → self-awareness → intentional narrowing.
