A PASSING THOUGHT

A PASSING THOUGHT

A Poem by Gary Schooley
"

It's about the thoughts that pass through my mind that sometimes disappear instantly and sometimes stay long enough to write down.

"

A PASSING THOUGHT


a passing thought winks in that peculiar manner

that is an instinctually recognizable way of me

as is its way not quite in-tune with the way

of things as they are projected onto 

the screen of life streaming past and bye

onto the next breath sigh lingering there


A LINGERING THOUGHT


a lingering thought and lingering sensations

linger as they do is seldom thought of

consciously but duly noted retained categorized

allowing the un-coupling of responsibility to

things projected onto the screen of life

these moments of living outside the box


A BUNGLED THOUGHT


they linger they pass they wave goodbye

sometimes and not often over the splashing

water over the rocks the moment lingers

we come back always but remain longer as we age

was it really bungled or the way of the jungle

it takes everything from you and gives you

everything bungled lopsided crossways

they come through a maze a haze

think cosmos don’t think don’t think

Thinking is the bungler
