meaningless application blowing in warm summer breezes flittering to and fro as the updrafts interact with rotating currents creating a moment encompassed in the instantaneous now that never lingers but can only be remembered his words live there too floating forever in the blurry past fading into the background of time yet, never completely leaving consciousness incoherent ramblings slide away as eternity and infinity combine and just as instantly dissipate tracers trail into the distance expanding and contracting with my breathing long slow exhale as I try again to forget dying words of wisdom passing fancies frozen stare of a dead icon troubled, watery eyes seek refuge in washed-out seascapes and smudged portraits faceless lifeless without movement or joy
