the doors all seem closed
save for a few
like traps for the mind with no purpose
In all of this madness
there must be some sense
Could Emily be correct
by even some measure?
and could that be the path to turn to?
Total insanity
a mind so frazzled
so keen to every sense and situation
that the images all come too fast
become jumbled
unobtainable for more than mere seconds?
Questions
but no answers.
that is how the world works these days.
we all spend so much time pondering
thinking ourselves to be thinking people
but we are so lost in thought
that we forget
what a maze we are in
and that the only way out
is to try answering
all the questing questions
that gallop through our heap littered heads.
we pat ourselves on our backs
because of the epiphanies we have
when really
we didn't find them.
they were floating around the whole time
and we unwittingly
stumbled upon them
because we weren't paying close enough attention
soon enough.
I wonder when mine will drift by.
