What do I need to do?

These pretty pictures turned another shade,
they yawned in place and then they changed
I can’t stand in yet another shade of blue
While soft covered books helped only to prove
The fact that I’ve been standing knee deep,
waiting aimlessly amongst these blank sheets
For a sign of contentment mirrored in crowds,
For something tangible in insomnia's frowns

All of which I must do.

Within these walls of unread encyclopedias
Lay the owl’s dreams of daylight and influences
What cometh hither in my head of pencils and splinters
Spills forth on untidy earth and only shivers
Oh, to what end must I pick a mind aloud?
To whom am I accountable for recourse unfounded?
Pretty pink dealt this hand another blow,
Seven or eight shrinks couldn’t breathe this slow
One or two answers couldn’t be so proud
Listen again, i'll read it aloud.
