.
viewing life
through the fingers
of a facepalm
an unhealthy
obsession
to broaden the mind
with the
help from social media
jumbled up in jargon
no more useful than a Word of the Day:
excired: (n) meaning exhilaration and desire
—or—
whenever …
bombarded with unrelated
f.a.c.t.s
as pertinent as
school level algebra
the mind’s ‘nothing box’
teaming with possibilities
inexpressible
visions dancing to an inaudible jukebox
a child’s
toy
kaleidoscope
charting the stars
given way to ‘Stars Foretell’
how we should feel
and think
nowadays
by naming the planets
the stardust
the very essence of existence
we escape categorisation
life views back at me
through the cosmic lens
of perceptions:
starlight eyes
of
hope
shines …
