A Hundred Thousand Million Million Ideas

Cast about for a new love leak

take all the air out of the moment

and shine a light on the last idea.

The whole area of this thought

is boggled and weary

yet I write to you in this state

and expect cheers or spitting.

What is it you’re doing here

does it matter in the least what I say?

I am certain it does not

and the huge space of this silence

the apathy thrown at my feet

gives me a drawn face and emptiness.

I watched as he screamed at the dead sea

and no echo came back

and certainly no answer

I quietly told him no one gives a shit

but that’s okay, just scream

and watch the noise paint a panarama

against the horizon

as it twists and turns beautiful in agony

watch and drink it in

because if ten million people cheered for it

it still would have the same value

and would still be as unanswered.

I put my hand on his shoulder as he slumped forward

we walked in silence to the end of the pier

and looking for the last time at that genius horizon

we jumped off the end

and began to swim.

  1. Intriguing piece of self reflection perhaps? Deep and thought provoking.
