The Psychology of Obscurity

You could fall any time

you think of that rank helplessness

not often but there it is now

your visitor chirping awareness

again while you sit looking

Suspended in speed and shallow breath

you scroll through options

rational existence first shivers then

shreds at the edges

lets go like pages of a many times read book

Flutter falls not without grace

toward your shoes jammed against

the bag of things deemed essential enough

to accompany you from here there to there

then vanishes into the dark beneath🪶
