THE RACE 10/22/14
Its easier to keep up
then to always be trying to catch up,
struggling to maintain the pace
of a smoking pen,
burning up empty pages,
swiftly canvasing it's surface
with colorful illustrations
of mental thoughts
constructed so others can glimpse
pieces of a fragmented psychoactive brain;
It's harder to always be the second to last,
trying to pass the person in front
but struggling just to keep up,
head just above sea level,
dog paddling,
attempting to conserve
and preserve energy…
just to preserve and cross the finish…
