i did something
new tonight
(just an fyi)
i sat
on a wet rock
next to a creek
in the rain
with a brown umbrella
darkness looming,
i thugged it out with jay-z
i lived for the city
with stevie
i raged against the machine
i found my own bravado
with lorde
i settled down to rose darling
and i found all
the voices
compelling
as i watched leaves
fall then
hit the water
moving in a rush
i looked up at
the grey clouds
and stared at my
black shoes
i twirled the
umbrella to
watch water
spray out
and i thought
to myself,
"am i just a big mouth?"
because that's what i feel like
a big yapping
mouth
yet i am
almost always
clothed in
s i l e n c e
...alone
quiet
no words are
uttered from my
lips
the majority
of each day
then why do i
feel so
loud
when i live
in my mind
when i consider
my life
through
the tick. tick. tick.
all i do
is
think think think
/consider/
weigh
and it
gets me
nowhere
but deeper
into this
abyss of
memory and
fantasy
what are
the rest of
the humans doing?
am i in
s p a c e?
i seem to
be
in a different
realm...
and now i'm letting you know.
