obtuse
| March 10th, 2006Obtuse – a word depicting
ignorance, possibly feigned
rough as paper dolls
sharp edged to the touch
coarse feeling(s)
preliminary thought unwinds
muddled brain
my head turns in circles
solid underneath my feet
ground rising to my steps
thoughts of you in this distant
morning
what am i to do
the air finds nothing within me
disconnected ideas of a better day
thoughts of home
and a place in your arms
worlds played out on paper
well lit cigarettes
humble beginnings of a man
another time perhaps
a century even
away from fueled machines
and choking sparrows
words as stepping stones
to my escape
my business is that of
not being seen
if performed well
i am invisible
somewhere in the middle
something good will come
