vacant of thought * 10/5/13


This space in the mind, vacant of thought,
often inconspicuous,
amidst thinking's eye-catching blaze.
Seemingly inaccessible.
Confirmed only by focuses
that wandered off.
No voice of its own, no apparent interests,
vulnerable to hearsay, gossip's about      
in conversations out of frame,
no songs just bursts of lyrical segments,
broken free.  
Melody driven towards blurted speech
by nameless feelings' search for airtime.
Impenetrable to logic's siege
yet animals respond.
Fooled by these one-sided conversations 
that wander through the sanest of friends.
Maybe we all embrace this empty-fest
in a timeless way,
signified by a collision
of utterings with slow grins
and faces fuming into distant stares . . .
