Chaos

My mind wanders disturbed distorted disillused fleeing like a fleet of stallions uneasy like Poseidon's oceans a broken mirror in the bathroom staring at a reflection in a puddle on a rainy day where? how? why? when? who? destruction devistation desolation beating but there are no drums motion but there is no movement images but there are no eyes consciousness but there is no thought the earth trembles as i walk quake aftershocks bring mayhem trees,buildings,people ripped apart blackholes engulf the world around me recreation renew re-emerged matter streams into a nebula, a star is born ink spills onto paper forming words an expressionist painter throws cans of paint at a canvas but without thought a prophet sees the future but without eyes the heart pounds with fury but without pulse the mind conquers marathons but only runs in circles
