Glass Ceiling by Quinlan L Gibsonred hot rotors, cooling motor
the silence is deafening and regressive
Content is not the word; grinding brakes
can be heard for miles.
Anti-progressive and inquietude lead to illusion.
Full-throttle into the wall.
Nothing to consume the blankness stares back
and I begin this free-fall.
Blurred lines lack sense of time; days, weeks float by
and I try to focus my eyes
on the stillness of my mind.
Injury to mentality, intellectually speaking
freaking out deep down in this abyss of nothingness
and I miss the sun by a mile. 07/26/2010 Posted on 07/26/2010 Copyright © 2024 Quinlan L Gibson
