Your priorities
Changed mine awkwardly, intrusively
Delved into the abyss of everything important
And exploded in repeated moments of chaos
Then you paused for a second
Craving immediate reinforcement
And in a moment falling back into the emptiness,
A place where you dwell incessantly
Where you see the world uncomfortably different,
Maybe mysteriously more real
And lashing out again
At the stranger still standing in front of you
Never becoming familiar to your eyes
You rely on something that worked yesterday
To bring one more moment of relief
One more second of satisfaction
We start over again.
