I lie still My consciousness slipping away Neither asleep nor awake All sensation seems distant The buzz of each neon letter before it glows The slow trickle from the corner of my mouth The warming of the cold floor beneath me The whisper of falling rain Who I used to be doesn’t matter This doorway’s unwanted guest This city’s unwanted denizen God’s unwanted son |

Nice n' hopeless, Zall ~wranx In reply to "which way do we go?", the answer was never "straight", but, "progressively forward". |

this reminds me of those i see downtown with their lives wrapped up in a shopping cart. and it reminds me of fight club. a gray and melancholy portrait. it's our struggle for identity that leaves us all unknown |

Okay...here is serenity's blues clues of spirituality... I feel like it's a mystical scavenger hunt. Each of us, in search of a very personal "Holy Grail." And? It's not that we ain't wanted by God, but just that we ain't done yet. Great poem. |
