back-flips off the keyboard

so much thought then
nothing at all to follow
without direction
lost when eyes are closed
one month ago
no idea I could have
made any of the stories real
life drawn out to the extreme
middle of every road
winding around corner and down
the straight and narrow paths
laid before him stopping
in the middle of a thought
to jump to another might swing
but he only hangs
gravity becomes the invisible rope
that pulls him straight down
into a depression created by one
of his many idiots
he has them all employed to perform
certain tasks during which time
he tends to the fire
in his mind spinning
with so much thought
and most would watch it float by
with no reaction
some grab at it and pull it close
and for one reason or another
they are internally
instructed to put that thought down
and forget that it exists
a swimming pool overflowing
and he’s doing back flips
off the keyboard…
