experience
                           through the senses,
        an example of distraction –
a façade –
                                           colors swirl,
            (twirl)
         ethereal fog of the mind

             words in place of thought,
         never sufficient.
                 yet forced to be
with a loss of meaning.

sitting,
            waiting,
                               wasting away.
     Apathy,
       antithesis of time
        for us beasts of men –

a hiss,
a smirk,
   a smile and a laugh,
                          she turns away
      a last time –

indecision
                                 strikes at the soul,
          “im lame”
      “youre lame”
           “my horse is lame”

meaning fleeting,
           purpose created,
        forged through loss.
