There are days When I am on the southern side Of stability Still on the globe But listing a bit Downward Leeward Into the wind Going in circles Drawing my own lines to cross But never crossing Not even the Ts No dotting of the Is Either I want to remain Home alone In my thoughts Foraging Comes from within No window or doors to be opened No fresh air Just stagnant Dull Smoke filled haze The big bang will come soon enough So, for now I will vegetate Digest all that has been swallowed Through the skin Of my permeable Membrane Thoughts Are kin Kind to me In that I may graft them Into themselves And wait For them to bear fruit Of a new species A new origin A new thought May get lost If not for the compost heap of mind Waiting For the wastewater to disperse New cells from their lodgings So, life can spring anew again And so I wait In this sate Of not getting work done No clinging to the window sash To let light in I am One Simply one You would not notice On the street For my gaze Even if it withheld your eyes You would see nothing A blank stare Without a face But I am in here Waiting To overcome Myself 8-22-2014
