Do Invisible People Dance

CATEGORY

just different

Views: 21

I've stood in waters
ambiguously deep

 

    etched in mirrors
    that I may seal

 

    reflections mocking
                     what I see
   

 

    cloned effigies of self

 


                    s t a r v i n g .   !

 


    a hunger
    that can't be satisfied

 

                            trapped
                           confined

 


    h e l d   f o r   r a n s o m . .

 


      A gilded cage though gilded
      is still a cage

 

 

vestiges of futures come and gone
                        past episodes of now

 

                                                  sitting
                     on the same old couch

 

                                             watching
                         the same old mouse
                         go by

 


Chasing ghosts 
that don't know they're ghosts

 


                      high in the rafters
                      they do mischief

 

                                  embracing 
                odious points of view

 

 

                Y e t . .
           

                I'm more than

                the figments and fragments
                                 of my imagination

 

                     
                                       Bits of flesh 
                              stuck in my teeth

 

      blood dripping from my mouth
        
               maybe
               someone told you

               I don't eat meat .  ?

 

            
              p e r h a p s . .

 


I'm that functional error
not understood

 


      that  f u c k s  with yuh
      

                               b u t . .
                    

  always seem to work


      

                 that confuses
and makes one wonder 

 


              How da F u c k
             Does it do That . .  ?

 


the hurricane inside the storm .  !

 


                  the many questions
we still don't have answers for

 

the many answers
still seeking questions

 


                             is time eternal .  .  ?
                     

                                when is now .  .  ?
                        

          do invisible people dance .  .  ?
