a way to pass time (Free verse) by unknown^user
It started with Mary
she sits alone, watching Law & Order, with snakes in her belly
the sounds and sights of a lonesome lamppost
her breath, radiating and hovering over the dim lights.
Like a lost diary, the hurt reveals itself in the dreams
forgetting the words, but recalling the phonetics
the trouble when everything is hectic, immersed
wrapping up pictures in newspaper, tapered-off
It starts with a Life
but soon stops, carefully dictating the memorable minutes
the hours and awes, and an improv ending
its undertow, falling and leaving only the pale black lines.
"I am a world," she says alone in the empty room
but the world is no longer listening, self-absorbed
outside, everything is deafening, whole, infinite
indefinite, but still real, everything ends here.
