nothing at this time

nothing concluded again
he sits writing it all down
his mind spits faster
than his hand
one moves slow on the
face of the clock
this time won’t stop
wait rewind he liked that part
made him feel as though
he isn’t falling into
all of the same potholes
he filled them all in the fall
spring now it’s cold again
concluding nothing that
anyone could find beneficial
not artificial though he making
it all up from where the pen
might lie but ask him
he won’t be forced
into pessimism if that
is what they call it now
he has proved to be a lunatic
merely waiting for the perfect
time again too bad it won’t return
will the dreams ever clear up
he thinks about all the moot
points his finger at no one
important as he looks
in the glass eyes meet at last
and still nothing concluded
muffled voices through the floor
he wishes they knew what to say
passing a window wave and a smile
what more can he possibly offer
nothing at this time…
