The widespread fear has grown
I'm diving into the unknown
Versatile like nylon
Like the Northern Lights
I've latched on to life
Lyrist on the mic
I have a vague recollection
I question everything
Double-checked the memorandum
Had to get it off my chest
I am neurotic, a true narcissist
Listless in the stasis, making an analysis
The pain multiplied, I could've cried
Broke like a forget-me-not
The sky lowered
First I heard the foghorn
Then the lightening and thunder
Closed my eyes and took a siesta
Opened them back up like a bird watcher
A lover, sensitive like the retina
It felt like forever
I'm a complex creature
Incommunicado Homo sapien
The fly came shooting out of nowhere
Like words from the caretaker of the church
I gasped, thinking I was in the Promise Land
At times feeling derisory
Other times I am bold like the frippery
Put together like origami
It's only provisional, I hope
I said my valediction to the wagtail
On a day as colourful as graffiti
I knew the flowers would wilt
They are dispensable in the end
It made sense, as much as it could
As much sense as the commonplace routine
As much sense as a dream
The glory is coming
I can't be unclean
I'm in an Alcatraz
Cautious with my next step
I'm waiting with bated breath.
