what do you know?

a lapse in judgement comes about when the waves hit. what force, coldness enters the bones, vertigo and then blank. try to recite those proverbs, try to go by general rule of thumb, try to tread water with nets dragging a body, and yet there is not much to miss for general rules do not apply - each situation is unique discernment becomes cloudy as oxygen thins out. where was i? a train derailed, a screaming train burst forth from the tunnel - buy me some time, then took flight and crashed on the next cliff. the debris falls into a gorge, a dead gorge where screams go in a loop and time has elapsed, time has been extended, for skin covered distress cunningly, a visitor, a buyer, an onlooker too became part of the dirt. a flying train, a unicorn, a rainbow sealed within this envelope, no one pays attention - another scheme, yeah right. and opportunities ran for the exit. an achille's brain, foggy, soggy, too dense to pry apart meaning, hidden beneath layers of frost, come summer the weathered out roots will sigh, drink, feast with the sun. but today, it is just me and you idly chattering of things of no consequences. it's the small talk, the little tweaks, where screws are found, twist a little and the machine comes apart. what wonder! later on you became me, with no one else hearing the screaming me found in a gorge of time no longer extended.
