Here and There
I sit around a room of blindingly bright
boredom and mental
frustration. The lights all around reveal nothing to me. I look in the
wrong place. The
clock tick-tock turns but it is more of the same. The new number does
not change anything
around me. I sit waiting. Tick-tock. It is still the same. It is still
the same. It is
still the tick-tock same.
The light breaks out and circles around the
dancing numbers.
Spinning and clapping merrily they laugh and roll and play. Bouncing
around they roll down
the misty stairway leading to the wild-sane void. In they go and
outwards they step-step,
they step, they step-step into much that is not like all that floats
around in particles.
They do not lie still; they do not still lie in the unbearable mood
that is always nearby.
They go from here to there, and they do it because, they do it because,
they because they,
they they, do they, they do do, they. What was it that I was going to
explain, sitting
here in the cluttered collection of the dripping trickle-trickle flow
from the moving
water that gurgles and whirls about and is quite clean because it is
clear and because it
simply is. It simply was before it was noticed to be so. And simply it
will be. I
step-look about the middle when I do wish to, when all of me does wish
to.
I sit here and there if I can. Can I let the
flow of things be and
not tip-tap create a rumble-mess rumble-mess of the unknown, unnamed
not how are you fine
I am doing well.
Yes, pretty much as I expected you would wobbily-wobbily wind around the jet-glare of the breezy clouds. They are the nothing that only is a wooly mass of spongy absorbancy and fresh air going-going-gone.
