a poem by Joshua Brown


A dissociative state I fell into

And as I fell I twirled nightly

A dissociative state I fell into

And saw friends ghost whitely. 


A generative state I fell into

And salvation brought men

A generative state I fell into

And killed the plight of sin.


A protagonist state I fell into

And alone felt experience cold

A protaganist state I fell into

My soul shivered in the world


A calamitous state I fell into

My commune disrupted, invader:

A calamitous state I fell into

A rogue but barbaric, ill thinker


A republican State I fell into

Violence by direct action lords

A republican State I fell into

Mind control of thoughtless hordes.


A beautiful state I walked into

Upside down as I swimmed cold

A beautiful state I walked into

My soul bursting with love bold.

Thanks for reading "A Free Will State" which was written at the Arapahoe County Justice Center on January 5, 2023. Read more of my work, like my last published poem "Four Trucks and a Bus" which is a reflection on a great experience I had overhearing a conversation between a few strangers.

Comment below your thoughts on determinism. Are you using your free will in any particularly positive ways? Let me know!
