Listen to poem:
comprehension lingers just outside the frame I'm conscious I linger just inside meaning cannot be construed by looking at the linear piece by piece connected time to occupied space to empty space I hover in the centre backdrop screams of chaos and order if you tear off the corners I still stand framed I am present here yet exist in just this space just this time the hatchings of interconnectivity unbroken should I cease to be everything can meld and fit heal over forever stands a space flickering between occupation and emptiness faster than the eye can see the abstract slowed it down where the mind tries to comprehend a blur make sense of how we fill a space maybe I fall into slumber or through the door to somewhere I can't forever be between the clock and the bed not now I am aware the darkness congests the surroundings to taint my space but beyond that colour and texture I'll stand still for now take it all in

Very abstract and deep, almost philosophical...maybe not almost, alfter all. Very impressive!

Haha thanks Paige - it might or might not - I mean standing in a room thinking is philosophical in my book, so I'm going to go for a yes :D
