sometimes it's like a movie
too uncomfortable for tv
too important for dvd
the whole thing opens with me screaming in the middle of a field
grass slicing my knees
dirt flooding my fingernails
i am the only thing in turmoil
the trees dance in the distance to a tune i am unable to hear
the wheat looks away in respect
while the mosquitoes become nosey and unable to mind their own business
and somehow i am reminded of when i was young and could sit in the silence for hours
confined in a house with a ticking clock
it's sharp arms slicing into my spine
reminding me that everything ends
the trees will forever dance
and that the wheat will always look away
