Goods and lesser intertwined Thoughts identify the mind? Sharp short ticks they Mark an hour or a day? Edits or consciousness stream After or before the dream? Clock the watch's path Brightening the alleyway math. Words legislate a curse Darkened by overflowing purse. Heads measure to ideal's perfection Lest mortal brief defection; Cease not the heartbeat rhythm Unto this lengthy prism; Intuition breaks the cycle Deliberation another house plant, Watered and lighted and growing One life among many residents, Watching hands while the others dance.
