Limping along at incomprehemsible speeds
My brain screams its frustration
As thoughts fall slowly
Slowly,
Splashing into diluded memories
Sending ripples of confusion
Repition.
Memories sliding through shaking fingers.
Hardly making sound while joining the dark.
Repition.
I vaguely remember.
The passing of time.

I whirl about
Slipping in the grassy feilds
Trip on shoelaces
As grime streaked hands barely miss
Time already joining the horizon
Barely gripping thoughts
Before Im aware of the sudden speed
Faces flicker before
Recognition finds its place
Words whisper snidely
Minds tripping to keep up
Desperate scrambles of sanity
The burning attempt to remember

Grey static hums
A soft lullaby
As I deftly stand by
Oblivion pooling
Comfortably in my mind
Laughing as it trips
Hazardly along the final stretch
Ive seen things
Known things
The spectacular realization
As a soft disregardation
Giggles through echoeing caverns
Tears spring
Accompanying a grin
At its struggles

Unbearable lengths
Stretch tauntingly as I wait
Slowly
For repition

Sudden...
Forlorn?
Doubt?
Acceptance.
And unrelenting need
To grasp the time
I race at its tails

Joy echoes the caverns
As I watch without care
As irrelevance
