third from my insomnia-induced poetry morning; or hallucinations in perpetual morning the streets are empty and the drunk are wandering colors are again beginning to appear towers loom higher overhead as i stumble about people glance at me from shadows and take no notice i'm still stumbling for days now i've been traveling searching digging up the earth burning down the universe looking for answers searching for why finding worlds of nothing and whether it's an hallucination or a dream my eyes are still open now dripping with sleepiness it's not sleepiness really so much as being totally and completely lost being strewn about this sphere day to day and each day brings new wonders and questions where are you? why oh why have you gone? stop following me! i've given up on explaining myself this is all quite obvious and if you haven't figured it out by now you'll know someday or you'll never know so just let it go and don't ask why i've stumbled into you day after day my eyes sinking deeper and growing darker with each minute of dream in each perpetual morning i'm awake and dreaming or hallucinating you before me and i just can't stop now don't get in my way i'm going to be something |

Wonderful! This reached into me: it's not sleepiness really so much as being totally and completely lost being strewn about this sphere day to day and each day brings new wonders and questions where are you? why oh why have you gone? stop following me! ...thanks for the read...  K- it was not an unmusical sound: long, falling, half a sigh, like wind in the wires, or a train distancing. The Muse of Distance, A. Williamson |

gmornin gnosis.... Geesh - Imagine how you'll be writing when you ARE forty... and I'll vouch for the fact that you're not yet... not even twenty... keep 'em comin... poetic addiction can be a kewl affliction... (Hey - give your mom that line - She'll want to steal it)...  Waft every crest upon your destined sea. Embrace the Wave of Serendipity, Lest its elusive arcane ecstasy Refurl with sail for all eternity. |
