Socks and The Primordial Void

by J and J - Cancer

thoughts come as madness
dangling cigarette traces lazy circles
in the morning sunlight, head still foggy,
i ask myself and the morning sun
"are these strang moments the essence of life?"
i don't know
mind jumping here and there
waltzing with the sunlight and floating ash
thoughts of paradise and then, socks...
jitterary tap tap tapping
scratch scratch scratching.
there has to be something to grasp here
besides a cup of coffee, besides a smoke
between half empty beer can
emerges a thought;
that maybe, this struggling artist
or rather mumbling idiot
may yet,
emerge, a butterfly.

Reason for writing:

    life and the conclusions drawn from the alternating periods of love/hate happy/sad...general mania drawn from being up all night.
