Food for thought
Abstract antics make this mess seem sensible
I often wonder if this madness is self inflicted
I often scold myself for being so self absorbed
Still
I smile for disorder
even those distracted by a contrived mediocrity
shake loose the ridiculous
Who else besides the mad could traverse such an irrational world?
Practice makes it humble
Precision makes it extraordinary
My circle never stays stationary and confusion remains reclusive
Solidified by a life spent in limbo
Silenced by a jaw made mute with awe
They said my theory proved reckless and I except such a judgment
Why must I make these stable scenes shrink into obscurity?
Chance encounters of the chemically inclined
A sandbox youth I once knew
Stumbled into my space while shopping for citrus
He ask me when I lost my mind
I ask him what is time?
His reaction invited nothing
expressionless like saintly statuary
A self proclaimed speaker of jury junctions
Casually clustered for ones dismissal
A city full of strangers
designed for display
Buttons like diamonds
boots like an empty echo
Tube trance propulsion
shoulders crowded and snug
Ignore the madman arguing with nobody
Imagine what is said between his pauses
Fill the spaces left for disconnection
A smile for your stupor
I know it's an easy remedy for approval
I know some are more susceptible for the stumble
lacking the proper bulwark for such old world hysterics
Leave this one be
let him try his luck with despondency
Surely a fine tuned cynicism was his undoing?
