Slowly sink into what's around
Friday evening party crowd
Carries on singing their joyful, hollow song
And they saunter out at dawn
While you're melting on the lawn
When all the busy-bodies dissipate
And you're all deflated
Hues abated
You're a mirror, now an empty slate
No mold to form to
No one before you
Chameleonic, incongruous days
I filter through my iterations
With a lazy malaise
For the drone
That hums incessant in my home
It pulls self-identity away
Take the path of least resolve
Unspooling through an endless hall
Fluorescence overhead
Flickers a sharp and constant thread
My ontology's a tangled mess
Am I my captain? Or a blur at best?
When all the busy-bodies dissipate
And you're all deflated
Hues abated
You're a mirror, now an empty slate
No mold to form to
No one before you
Chameleonic, incongruous days
I filter through my iterations
With a lazy malaise
For the drone
That hums incessant in my home
It pulls self-identity away
I don't know who I am today
Can you even be in the lonely shade?
I don't know who I am today
Are you if there's not a witness to watch as you fray?
A whisper out from the ether cries:
"Every permutation of your mind's just fine."
You are neither out of sight
Nor are you out of mind
