nothing concluded 140

back in the basement
it's cold again
the heat kicks on
before I can finish
writing the words

too fast thinking
on the fly on the wall
and he is that fly
where he sits
trying not to get hit

what it might mean
or doesn't
which side is more right
absolutely
out of his mind

by now no one
can see through
the cloud he has created
destroying beautiful buds
burning lungs

dangerous smoky
toxins inhaled
willingly allowing the mind
a destructive release of sorts
some kind of contradiction

wonder winds clear the room
and the mind etch-a-sketch
shaken gray blank page style
ramble on and on
torn between

these thoughts pounding
and sleep calling
sleep wins
when eyes close
one with a twitch that won't quit

what it might mean
or doesn't
which side is more right
absolutely
nothing concluded...
