Crazy Specks
I woke up
had to hold out my hands
to steady myself
trying to slow
the world whizzing by
it barrels along
all the time
even while I sleep
doesn’t stop for nothin
or nobody
I run along with it
every once in a while
for the rush of connection
but then I drop out
it’s become too much
way too much
besides
I’d rather watch the dust dance
in the sunlight
& imagine what music
those crazy specks are listening to
