tidbits
by Travis G Finborgthe last time death was reminded
i sired my self into into a sleeping heap
why walls always seem
to spring there way into my psyche, should I get
philospohical?
whats the point? but in asking
the reason I present a philosophical point
there is no escape from the
mental boundaries, they are
set in nerve endings.
,,=ksdjsdjsk
there are moments
when time seems to crawl along
taking small tidbits of sanity with it
(my stomach is full
of turkey and bread
a slice of dill pickle and some
mustard and mayonaise.
i feel content, it is the
first home made sandwich
I have had in such a long time,
I also enjoyed a glass of
koolaid <another child hood treat>
it was very comforting to
slowly eat the soft sandwich
and drink the sweetness of the koolaide
when I was finished I felt full and content.)
then I lost a friend
to the stupid beligerent
stubborn stiff necked indifference
watching the symbolic death
a fragile link between
us is dissolved
trying to hold on, feeding this
thread for years, allowing it to
drain and distract
I am disconnected from everything important

set in nerve endings.'Nor there's any escape from the fragmented selves fighting to take charge.Nor from their associations, the energy providers. Its a thinking poem.
