Unnumbed

[bluepepperoni]

Unnumbed


I sat watching the myriad crowds,


Gazing upon their moving world


Engulfed by a vacuum


Spiraling, spiraling, routinary and topsy-turvy...


Without a sound or inquiry


Then I hear the sound of children laughing, singing...


Their voices dumbing down then resounding


Vertigo- all around


I sat again reflecting


Transient, passing


Recalling how callous fools approached


With gaping mouths they wail and wail


For nothing but wallowing in shame


They fade, they fade


Into dust like ashes- Ashes


Delight in shrugging them away


Unnumbed,


A moment's silence beckons,


and lost in reverie, I am.
