Empty Rebus<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I need to get my self
Back in line
Before it all gets out of hand<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reminiscing \u2013 the highs
The whatever \u2013 the when<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These two flows
From one source
Which I am too foolish
To even recognise <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This fire escape door
Which I can keep on pulling
But I am too blind to push<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tangled up
By convoluted nuance
And constricted by
This recurring imagery
I always
Overcomplicate the meaning
Only then to simplify<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just as front follows back
And short measures long
I am nothing more
Than this dull mid-June day
And this battered notebook <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course \u2013 just by saying that
Makes these dumb words
Turn back in on themselves
To May and then April and then on
Back to the point<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come on fool \u2013 shut up
I am sick of the drifting
From that point to this and then back to there
All I want is to stop
All these dreams of yesterday’s world<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So come on fool \u2013 shut up
Sit down and be still
Just let it all
Solve its own undisturbed mystery <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
