I am wondering what craziness is\u00a0sitting in a room watching the clock digits change<\/p>\n
smoking and coughing on my smoke as my eyes water from the clouds exhaled<\/p>\n
thinking of food when I realize I’ve gotten too big for my own stature<\/p>\n
delaying the work if front of me by doing every possible thing to avoid it<\/p>\n
making animal noises from a barnyard hidden away in my closet<\/p>\n
thinking of my past beauties being eaten by the present beasts<\/p>\n
laying down and intently staring into the space between<\/p>\n
the clock and me, wondering what has happened to the lost time and<\/p>\n
the lost matter of the room — whether it exists outside the room and<\/p>\n
if there is some connection or relation?<\/p>\n
writing it all down and knowing that I have missed the point because<\/p>\n
how do I know exactly whether I have my sanity – here<\/p>\n
with the smoke, the space between, and the clock.<\/p>\n
