silent studies

with a stabilised sky
     I can watch the world turn
  where the blurs of the cars
    and shooting stars
         collect in my mind
  smoothing over scars
             creation of and in orbs
   of earth and eye 
                          and brain
        inputs unending 
             do not allow for catching up
      or staying sane 
                 a call for stillness
   let it play out like ballet
                              I want no place to be
      on the starry night 
                of a well lived day
      allowed to rest
          knowing 
                 it's deducted 
   from my time
          it's hard to focus 
                         on what may be best
    as I stagger 
                  from chaos 
             to very nearly rhyme
                  order is called for
     I'm in the    'disapproved of'    mire 
       what is order
               ...if it steals zest and desire
   no matter my notions 
           and ideas
                 the earth still turns
        my time runs on self doubt
                 and on one of these rotations
it 
  will 
all 
    have 
        run 
 out.
