Two Poems
by Sean Cho A.


.the sun bear finally gets to say his Peace #1

one book asked what would it mean to
have no suffering. well once a few julys ago it may
or not have rained all the way until Reminder:
Syllabi deadline
. another one says we do it to
Escape the body. yeah well shit man I’ll just say it
it feels really good to get high and I like to feel good.
and the whole time you didn’t know. you didn’t have
to know. online today I read a post about how we
are in the Generation of Oversharers and asked for the
return of lies. fuck it. I’ll bite: I ask not for mercy.
but the abandonment of Fear


Essay #3

But whom defines meaning. Not meaning like a dictionary, but meaning like internally, how we feel when we think of the thing. Back when I was “you’s age.” Most things felt meaningless for a really long time. I have a fear that I am susceptible to cults and overreaching religions which offer different ways of finding meanings. Once a while back but more recently than I’d like to admit I got in a too long conversation with a jehovah's witness at a coffee shop. I have convinced myself it was because she was cute but secretly I knew it was because I was interested in what she was saying. The difference between truth and authenticity is one happened and one feels like it could have happened. In this case it's not important which is which.
