3 word, 3 thought

“but you are too old for apprehension.” her voice had sounded so, and of this one’s voice, ‘you are never too old for wariness of an unknown.’ responded astute, drunk on logic. returned was breathless thought to the void, filling emptiness with irony. (oxymoron) and weened the way thru, concision turned derision with repetitious definitions that found no actual meaning. all thought without justification and no thought with classification. words, actions, wailing: empty, empty, empty then existed less and less from want of purpose. less and less from interest of the known; this once forged fear of life. and with impressive derangement, grabbing at the only sober keychain. they, with twitching vesper eyes, their hands jit’ for a false-meeting fix. to nix the nihilism. and: ‘People can go fuck themselves.’ words of this one’s voice. of her’s, “thank god you’re alive.” from those days, when rains ranted down, and the trains tripped us out. those days of our wood’s reclaimed trailer. and each syllable was never thought to be anything until aged eyes ached for review those epochs of breath. but: ‘People can go fuck themselves.’ voiced in response to a romanticized thought. and all epochs lingered upon are no more than a journal of the winds that blew while we were present. some diary of listless lust left undated. of the woods, of a reiterate span in once anonymized transience. and falling back, thumbing pages for proof of experiences passed into skewered memory. left are three lines, ill-verbed, to represent an entirety of past lives. of time once present in yellow-lit motel room, of apocalyphic musings, and veering prophets of doom. they, turned sincere apocalyphites. their prayers writ boldfaced, platitudinous, in concern of endless words restating – in constant rephrasing: ‘People can go fuck themselves.’ but they just kept goin’ on without concern for the dawn.
