New pills less thrills

Blockers

#27
 
Heart beat slowed now
tasting time passing seeing the colours in music as
It flows.
 
Interior life, restrictive and expansive.
Million miles wide inside
It begins to slide
 
Reality sits back
Assumes my mantle
Toys with me
Shows me the sights
 
Myself expunged, broad cast
Out
No longer receiving on my wavelength
The dial turns
 
The frequency of I grows less
Adorned in tablets, uniform
Regular shaped
The label clear a measured dose
 
Slowing cogs to sync me
With the gear with which I did not mesh
Grinding down and filing me
Into my salt
 
This is me in effigy
Slow burning by my wick
Perhaps to illuminate for longer
Yet duller and less quick.

(2015)

It just tumbled out after coffee this morning
