Discordant thoughts Tumbling over each
other; S P

G,
Dividing, uniting, Dissipating into the
abyss.
Images- Recurrent; (RECURRENTRECURRENTRECURRENT)
Boomerangs. Each
lap around my
consciousness It’s become a little bit
different- A
little more detailed. A little more vague. T

I
P P I N G over theoretical situations That only exist in a land of implausibility. Choking on
words that are smothered by my tongue Like alphabet soup. Spouting nonsensical
metaphors With the spirit of
a witty rebuttal. Intangible almosts that resonate within me, Yet I cannot touch nor describe them
nor decipher their meaning.
Emotions undefined; Unversed
lyrics. A cacophony of ideas
Slathered with asymptote adjectives; Word salad. Disconnected from the
physical world
Where an apple in hand two seconds ago Has been lost for years,
And the hunger I feel is no
longer for food…
Wait, what was I
talking about?
