Affirmation February 15

So what, if today I seem to be lost, again
and you seem to have all the answers?
Do I look like someone seeking a smooth ride?
My brow cluttered with shaky ideas,
no one looking at my hands,
rough, raw, warm, adjusting.
It is winter, I say it is winter.
Or do I have fever?
I watch how five kilometres from here,
a car crashes into a tree and the driver dies.
I train my binoculars – I watch, how further on
someone pauses
feels his breath and makes no sense of it.

Every repetition is redundant.
Conception is clarity, is enough, is sufficient.
Otherwise, we can just let the drums beat on. Let the drums beat on.
