Elegant lucid daydream
Lifts soft carapaces, useless defenses
To a cloud-stained city ceiling
I was built for intermittent sun
Gaps moisten musical backdrops
With chords knotted by slow motion
Lower light slips between seconds
As hands tremble near vestigial sundials
Jabberwalked before the rain
Trite commentaries on art,
Science, and poetic form make
A morning out of a molehill
All a being can exist for
Another formal game
Whose ending is an asterisk
On organic journeys' infinitude
Scripting is toothless and essential
Sketched on the laughable ruleset
Meaning configured for incomprehensibility
As abstractions elevate a busy mind
From eons to inches
Where the stars exist inside both eyes
And far away notions
Gently recede to the depths of my mind
