Passing

Breathe, panic inside
Gaze, inwardly chide
Listen, selfishly deride
Feel, painfully abide

Stint of madness swirling,
skirling out of control
Embracing the chaos emboldens
You, gallantly playing the role
Type-cast intentionally, Be…Be…being
what you are able, aren’t capable, not culpable
Blameless in your distress, not clueless though, no…
…never unaware, how doth thou fare?...
vain corporeal grasping, thoughtful
mindlessness, gnashing, thrashing, flailing…failing?
Falling, calling, culling the flotsam
Entreat the intangible to coalesce

Breathe, inhale clarity
Gaze, beyond inanity
Listen, calming rarity
Feel, welcome sanity
