Without Rhyme Or Reason
I Feign Consciousness
I lose track
No longer in the moment
But lost, somewhere on water
Drifting gently on a breeze....
I catch my breath and hold
My thoughts garbled
Transient and fleeting
Then gone.....
It is a pleasing place
And warm, despite the chill
Dull and faint now,
The daytime TV sounds....
I feign consciousness
I stare, unblinkingly
Voile covers my face
All is well....
