Filling In The Blanks
Stricken by the unseen hand of Morpheus My lids go heavy with boredom. I look outside and wonder Is there more to this cycle of volume Is there a way to cause actual impact? Is there an action that is both significant and permanent? Or are we all just filling the space between breaths? Behind screens, mannequins Dutiful, complacent all But in 'er minds, Nests a colourful squall Perhaps an argument Or last night's nightmare? A shopping list Or a son's broken wrist? Is this how we fill the space In between breaths?
