Late Night: Walmart

Mindlessly patrolling the local toy department.
Legos, Star Wars, Scooby-Doos.

Epic Battle Super Man
threatens-late night
stockers on the loose.

My energy is peaking,
not receding.
Walking circles with no end.

There's no design
to all my patterns;
they don't stop, they just begin.

Every day my
mind receives:
Echoes, stutters, and radio transmissions

and
Every day my
mind receives:
A pointless loss of recognitions

Work comes....
so much sooner
but I'm able to slow time down

Joy comes...
so much bigger
So much vaster than I've found

A second-
Rewrites hours;
And all the days in between

A lifetime seems
to shatter.
Never being what it seems.
