Sea of Fools

waiting for a meeting to start and had my notebook handy.

A collision
of collusion
a dark and deep intrusion
of past and present

corridor of jumbled
up confusion

of melancholy gathering
of memorable clamoring

attention oft divided
wandering unguided,
swimming in a starry pool
I flounder with no shore in sight

Mistaking wisdom for a fool
I close my eyes, turn from the light
but find I’m not alone the sea
is filled with all
the fools like me

   This is a beaut! Before a meeting I’m so uptight and focused on the agenda I can’t see straight let alone pull down something from the ether! You go, Dee : )

   Thanks jae and miss A! I am nursing a screwed up knee and taking random stabs at nanowrimo so poetry may be a bit slimmer than ever unless I show up here in a pain pill fueled stupor and throw something down.
