David Walker Poet Rhyme

Splitting Hairs

Splitting Hairs
David J Walker

If you only knew 
How often
I do just that

Splitting hairs to enter 
Another dimension 
Leaving me both here
And there, driving the streets 
Of abstract convention 

Where traffic lights are blue
And the tomorrows are
No longer new and are known
For abstruse pretention

Everyone seems to know my name
When they think they see me in
This other form

And then I’m gone again
In the split of a thoughts
Distension
