Thinking

Cognizant of the cogs;

they oscillate, they reciprocate-

the movement of these thoughts.

Their transference caused by the tilting pendulum.

Bent wheels spin;

signaling the conundrum- of sin;

they wind these gears again.

And the springs that are sprung-

from the path they are on-

bounce their way- full steam ahead.

You see - these thoughts that are thought,

they’re captured in the trough-

between the trapdoor - and their proper place…
