I watch each of them eat
i watch each of them drink
i watch them all sink
i watch them sleep away
while walking,
zombie,
with the same placid easy
expression
ornamenting their face, handing chandelier face paint
a sconce on a wall i am
or in a chair
as they ensconce themselves into another job
another school another group
talk, about, important ****
like a book
a clothes piece
a hair dye
clouds
universe
opening wide
revealing a void of absence
this makes me not closed
no closure
i want all their minds
to be present, i want
a
few people, around me.
they're stumbling off a plank of, mind, intellectual existence into
an ocean of jobs cars new ethics and things they wont get.
i'm trying to jump out of a swimming pool of truth,
out of,
existence.

I was sitting outside the library while I was in my last semester of college, severely depressed, and I was thinking about how much I wish i meant a little bit to every person that walked by. i probably did. because to them im sure i looked silly by the way i was dressed and was awkward.
