fleeting .osi

'fleeting'

Got caught

In this quirky circumstance

Of the unlit alleys of distraught emotions

And unexplained phobias

Where drowsy eyed 'gators of depressive thoughts

Yawn wide open in their readiness

To gobble up an entire being

Where wave after wave

Of hushed,hypocritical corporate conversations

Sound like deafening cacophonies

Where you become a kid once more

Wanting to cling to someone

Or something that's never there

The day after a school shootout

Where closed mindsets decide what 'good' is
Which is actually not

Where..the colossus of gigantic business interests

Feeds on a collection of puny little solitary dreams

Like a whale devouring those shoals of tiny fishes

Where.a.tight lipped, hawk eyed jury

Chills you

To the marrow of your bones

For an opportunity that you lose out upon

Where relationships are deemed to be investments

That fluctuate with current price indices

Yet somehow

Out of this 'black hole'..

My thoughts and ideas escape

Like unchained,playful bumblebees

And butterflies seeking to interact with wild flowers

Me?

'nother faceless nobody

Trapped

In the fleeting twirls

And the crazy swirls

Of an ephemeral whirlwind

Inside my TV..
