somebody's dungeon

Sometimes the change is slow,
molecules shifting at a snails pace.

The constant, though agonizing tedium
of structural alteration so miniscule
as to be inperceptible to others.

But I noticed. The slight reconfiguration
of self, and disturbed, I stopped the flow
changed the slow to nonexistent, and now
I'm stuck in flux, wondering what the ****
with no words to place in mid-argument.

Continuance is inevitable, in the shallow,
to break up the fallow, ground, but I do it
half-heartedly, and don't give a damn
for the ritualistic sham that takes place
in space surround. In lack of profound
you've increased my ennui tenfold.

Could feel the churn of emotions and the restlessness of this piece. Well written, and well said. ThisDiamond
