Manic Musings

....
.....scatter-brained
..harried by streams of consciousness
f l o a t i n g through space
empty gourds echoing back towards
..........rubber walls
stretched tight across white plates of bone
strong as steel
light as cirrus clouds against a cold blue sky
.....curved space-time
juxtaposed against
............green seas of algae
...................soaking up solar rays

.................................................................to stop
future power shortages
.....and the walk home never ends
..........roadways bend into the wind
...............and creaking wicker chairs

.....off ancient porches
through cr ac ked layers of dust

tiny blips on the radar
......unregisterable

black as the inside of a palm
....cupped against an eye
.........in a dark room
.................Free

from distraction
