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
