A Book Of Sentences Misplaced
There were days that crawled like snails,
Conversation that was filled with unfenced fury,
Then there were nights that sung like morning birds,
Life was an empty courtroom, one without a jury,
Seasons change and the tide cycles in and out,
How much more time do I have to work at grudgingly,
Only existing, occupying time to make the clock run down,
The cold wind and wet days of winter are letting up,
Spring is just over on the next page,
The butterflies will perform as new life is getting up,
But I fail to see beauty in what is obviously so,
I think perhaps once I did, but honestly I don't know,
While the day is full of sunshine and warm on my face,
Inside of my head, I live in a different place,
Where the day is cold, miserable, threatening to snow,
I am no actor, I cannot fake this walk forever,
Someone draw the curtains, I am not fit for the show,
The insignificant details illustrate my days,
Something to care about, something without wings,
Or thoughts or feelings or any other number of things,
Variables that make for navigating somewhat tricky,
But I have always been drawn to the road most slippery,
To where danger is lurking, awaiting my presence,
I cannot make sense of this madness I errupted in,
Nor do I feel like going out to start investigating,
When you finished reading that chapter to me,
The one where they all sung along below the city,
And drank grog and swallowed all kinds of things,
I saw those two homeless men, personified as us,
Having burned every bridge, bombed every bus,
Like them, we have nothing here left,
Maybe while we were distracted,
Time came along and away it all swept.
