last night i was listening for
a sound to hold onto and take me down to
sleep
a sonorous sound i could wrap my thoughts
onto and keep
a sound of rain or wind blowing and tapping on my
window pane
the constant rush of cars going by or the distant sound of
the train
i even tried to listen for sound in the silence as hard as I could
maybe too hard,
but i still thought i would try

Synapses crackling in the morning

One eye open then the next
I don’t like to use my brain too
quickly
Afraid it might break
I am older and I don’t need
my brain to be on all the time
Just on an as needed basis
seems to be just fine
but generally speaking I can get
along better than most
with one one brain tied behind
my back
there are some days
it is preferable to just coast

but then again being a stranger in a
strange land gives us a clue who we really are.

If one decides if is necessary to run away from
home
It is not necessary to bring one’s home
with them
or
at least if you are serious
then
you really don’t want or wouldn’t want too.

Unless of course there are cream cheese and bagels
involved
