Are words not much for those who might wonder as thoughts, they sprung asunder, little does anyone pay attention, to the feelings that are produced when words and thoughts mix — invoking a sensual chasm of blunder

beware, be aware — be where when I am there you ask where, as I unzip my thoughts — not fair intense, such a pretense, causing an intimate link of suspense testing, is it testing, are you wondering what am I doing?

I am just working, to make it into something — does it yonder one thing to ponder such things, to rest in that ink that flows from the inner lingerings of my thoughts, so crude, sometimes raw while most times prude don’t wait, would you hate on this creation that lacks sustain, which can’t really contain, to maintain the triggering sustenance

A food for thought, what meant to start or starve some poor sap’s heart perhaps I rejected, to cause and effect its ending — to care for the thing that caused him to feel left in — alone was he, when I subtly stepped in his mind breathing just leave — I want to be left alone, interesting

I asked if I could help him, though weird was he — not speaking thoughts resting on my shoulder, cold as ice melting as I lit another ziggy, and exhale another puff of smoke he looks at me, with a sobbing face — could you offer me one too!

I pass one ziggy, he holds it in — I light the match burns it indeed — we stand right there, in the cold dark night idly waiting for the bus to come in, as the smoke of puff inhaled he coughs, and screams “how disgusting!?” while throwing the ziggy adjusting his throat, spitting — I look towards the man in a fit

To find his mood adjusted — I feel it did the trick, though how hard could one puff be — I help him up, and he said something one that I remember to this day — Thank you for listening you’re a good friend, as he rested his head on my shoulder crying his wees, holding him there — I took a puff again looking back into the time I was alone and had no one to hold me in

What could have I done better, is a food for thought but my mind was fixated, hallucinating…

Thank you so much for reading.
