Running

towards

If i keep running towards towards towards

The vacuum left indecise by all the other words

If i keep going, not looking back not looking back

If i close my eyes forever forever forever

Until the world fragments and disappears

Unil the clouds move over and not only me not only me

Is frightened and searching and searching

Always searching the light the exit the answer

Always more from this so much less that is today

And yesterday and all the days of a contracted history that

Doesn't even exist anymore

The half moon of despair is a pair of binoculars

That were advertised as powerful tools for disenfranchising

The weak mind ot the social animal into something clean and cut and simple

Clean and cut and simple, unlike myself.
