Amoeboid Optic Negativity

all it takes 
is a no
to

divide 
into a
not

now 
having
a no and

a not
dividing
two to be

come
four to
become

eight
and so
on and on

no not nothing
nope nowhere
nobody no no

division
to diversity
to distraction

evolving
dissolving
any and all hope

no not nah now
know never knot
none gnaw knew

it would grow
it grew all
con

sum
ing
me

Yah, can only imagine. I've seen typewriters that type music... <3

Thanks Maureen, but I think I mentioned the continuous chatter that I try to decipher and actually write a poem. But then there's the constant music that plays in the elevator I live. Right now the theme song for the Sound of Music.

I am familiar with that, time impaired. That and before I knew what was wrong with me I joked that it takes me 16 hours to wake up. That said though I'm pretty good about my sleep hygiene, ability to function directly related. I can only imagine.

My brain wrote this, but my body is just now waking. It's almost 4:30 in the morning, but I don't know what day it is.
