Pale complexion
Steps are fumbled
I pity the overwhelmed

Gorilla warfare
Panic attacks
Set in like concrete

Shell shocked
Out of body and mind
A Visionary

Quite the contrary
Living with one eye open
Asleep at the wheel

Dwindling anthems
Like walking
The blind to sight

I picked up
A book
I’ve read it a thousand times before

Non appealing
Yet I opened it anyway
Curiosity killed the cat

The ink ran down
The pages like
Spilling blood

Pictures tarnished
In plain sight
Like I’d seen this all before  

Life flashed before
My very eyes
Not before the fixating trance invited

Me in one last time
Straight into the
Eye of the storm
