where are all the real people when you need them.
no hidden agenda.
just people.
they used to come in all guises.
family, neighbour, friend, drunk, ******
they new who they were and didn't try to hide, disguise or deny

Once More

awake
back to reality
knowing all will repeat

deep within
      I feel

coating my fingers
to reveal

dust

no cloak of invisibility

dispersed  
to where

no one no one
will care

if it is not there

Or trapped
In a categorical cliche

Twilight Life
j a connor Mar 2022
The streets are uneasy at this time
When the twilight separates the day
Party goers , lonely wanderers, the disturbed
And yet
As the darkness fades
All takes on a new perspective

The real disappears and the routine begins once more
Uniformed of mind take their places in the daily experience  
Isolated beings for the sake of repetition and familiarity
Weak every day through the months and years
Until
All stops

Those in the shadows prefer the unknown and unexpected
The challenge of survival without a  fragile safety net
For it all ends for all
How we reach that point depends on our perception of a life lived
83 · Jan 2021
You Are You
j a connor Jan 2021
Begone all the nay sayers
I have risen to be me
No more will I be passed over
No truth I will not see
For life is mine
And I must live
As this is the only time
I can give
To those who are sighing
What about tomorrow
Live like you're dying
Self pity
Is
Sorrow

it's evening
close the day behind me
my eyes are tired
nothing to do but relax
into my pre final daily ritual
the glass is primed
the moon flowers once more
this is hope

the no people
j a connor Dec 2023
as many are lonely
like grains of sand

lost of identity
unclear strange land

a world of mass
kills the individual

grouped by language
a description critical

breaking limits
j a connor Apr 2023
there is a certain liberation to be enjoyed
no rule following
going through a point that impresses the senses
freedom of speed
reaching the horizon before dawn
no longer per hour
measuring in the second
ecstasy of movement
with no destination
ending too soon
but living in the moment

Fitting In

Beyond the coffee
night
Polluted by too much
but it's alright
My mind calls to the sky

I see

I try

The passage is
uneasy
Plagued by those
trying to change me
Lost in my demise

I see

I try

My task is
futile
To build my hopes
am I in denial
Burning lifestyle
Why do I continue
Because

I see

I try

in the depths lies the truth
hidden from those who seek
to go forth with false intentions


waiting for the naive uncomplicated spirit
that exists in all who ignore the masses
and proceed with an open mind
j a connor Jun 2023
I fly on thoughts to the distant horizon
All before is gone
History
Not mine
I am leaving too late to enjoy what is left
Awake in a reality not of my choosing
But is it a dream
Is it real life
Is it me

Let us begin
Once upon a time on the third rock from the sun
Confusion was afoot
Identity unsure
Purpose unclear
All in all quite mixed up
As an outsider I observed with sympathetic curiosity
Conclusion
Perhaps better left alone until they manage to understand themselves
No rush
Maybe another thousand years
