Sunlight is subdued today
Cloud cover plays through speakers
Echoes in a large expanse
Familiarity lingers vaguely in the air
Numbers count down to when it’s no longer okay
To be here or anywhere near
Aisles to exits that shine for attention
Demanding they be taken.
Seriously.
Exhaustion weighs heavy on eyes that never want to close
Vision lies with perception; without sight
Feeling is beyond what is tactile
It is not beyond attempting to touch
Singing words aloud to deaf ears
Words carry only the value we assign
Far from where they once resided
Finding new homes among strangers
How could anything convey an idea
Tastes change and speak in different tongues
Ideas pervade, even with a simple gleaning
Books hold words but seldom meaning.
