Hearing things in my head
I'd like to think that I am insane or brilliant
(What difference could it make?)
I conclude: “any other reality would be devastating”
And
Today the air was sweet enough to smell
With my nose and lungs
I only mention this because until last
Week, the air had been too cold to smell
“Not since November” I thought…
I’ve often seen the TV news show how elderly people
Have a tough time shoveling in cold weather
Due to the frigid air’s effect on breathing
I get that
For a list of things I don’t get, please
Refer to poems XXII-XXXIV
Which can be reviewed at City Hall
Monday thru Friday (business hours only of course)
All nonsense aside
Nice breezes and a coke are good enough for now
Yes sir,
Looking out my window, I don’t sense any part of my body
Individually
It all runs together and I feel alright
And even when things start to shift again, I just listen to
That music in my head
Sometimes it’s this one song, the rest of the time
It’s very quite
I can always be still when I want to:
4/4 is 4/4 is 4/4

ReplyDeleteandrew i sobbed after reading it twice and my room mate caught me but i said i had a cold. I'm sorry I didn't admit to my tears.
ReplyDeleteandrew, i wish i were insane and brilliant as well. I have had the feeling where i don't sense any part of my body before. i can really relate to that. It's like scary meditation.
ReplyDeletethis is beautiful.
