Frames

When days are framed in shivering blue-grey
but hot sun lulls the still noon to a daze;
where roads the ruffling shores of commerce laze,
I slump into the looming of the day.

I cannot say what thoughts run through my mind,
for they are foreign to me, rhythms strange,
coercion of the heavy hands of change,
which are not human, neither soft nor kind.

All I can do is hold to the way set me
and let these waves make up for lack of sleep.
Fragments of feelings juddering through me,
indecipherable emptinesses keep,

hearing the gist of a booming address -
delirium churning meaninglessness.
