nothing concluded 34

regions of my mind
invaded and so as it stands
he is but a figment of
the imagination
a creative one of course

he still sits among all the strangers
choosing to know no one
and commenting at length
about the thoughts that
pound the mind

like a drum pounding
out the rebelliousness of youth
everyone needs to take the time
and try to understand each other
how else we avoid war

suddenly crowded in the hazy
spot he has chosen
it’s a bit hard to stay afloat in the sea
of smoke and babble
he holds his breath

finding time in the clock-less
universe he somehow still
trapped between layers
of confusion
and smoke

twisting and turning
in sleep and while awake
contorting the thoughts
and trying to make sense
out of all this noise…
