Caught on the cusp
of tomorrow and today.
I teetered on the line
drawn by inconspicuous
Know it alls.
Tiny specks of knowledge
disguised as memories.
joined forces
with blowing bay breezes
and bombarded me
with stinging grains
of dynamic reality.
A whirlwind of
what could be
wrestled with
a tsunami of what is
threatening my sanity
with their half truths
and seductive potential.
And my treasured balance
was jeopardized
by this churning storm
of contradiction…
So I fought
to find stability
in an unstable mind…
Until…
I was eventually lulled
into a catatonic slumber
by the peculiar melody
of my own maniacal laughter
erupting between clenched lips
in disconcertingly
harmonious bursts.
