Socks and the Like

there's a corner that was hit

there's a room made to hide

there is you and me

and a carnival of progress

to confide


there's a blanket clenched

and an old man shot

a penny wasted

with a vicious plot to clear


a gun on the wayside

as she touched the fillings

a girl talking to herself

as she walks to heaven

from self-invitation


submerged in plaid

in navy and beige

a comfortable couch to touch

with a symphony on the stage

wrapped in silk and soothing white

frilly suit and pinned up flies

meaning nothing


doing nothing for giving

nothing to keep the pain, searching

nothing to help the pain, finding

nothing to heal the pain, pretending

nothing ever happened and living for the

nothing she became


and still saying..


SHUT UP, sweet nothing
   
          just

            shut up






























Author notes

this was horribly written, but it occupied my time. anyway.. enjoy.

beige carpeting reminds me of a mild form of living. which is really the base of what i was trying to write about. so it sort of works.

    i think this has some great imagery, but def needs some editing. i could workshop it but it's late and my mental faculties are not at their peak. still, i like.
