Space Staring

by dp-younginger

Eyes out of focus, ears echoing with a hint of reverb, Pupils alternating on perfect loop, a period to a black hole, Hair becomes like static, a sound that goes unnoticed , Fingers numb, fingertips like nubs, bitten to the core like a rotting apple, Nerves in the kneecap relay a rhythm to freezer burnt toes, Bouncing a heel - a nervous and impatient tick - The words in front are smudged by internal noise, binding brain activity, Reality renders room for a romantic razor to ready the troops, Slicing and dicing the fruit - on the cutting board - falling seeds like a hailstorm in July, To be stuck forever, a coma with a comma to separate answers to commence, Answers bladed sharp and split open by the distracted mind, An attention disorder that lives in the people, The people take drugs, die faster, and hide away from the natural, The unexplored realm where one can truly find a companion, Holding hands with Caulfield, innocence is immobilized for eternity, The shuttle returns - all words loitering become visible, feasible, and manageable once again.
