Only Some Thing
So am I thinking
and so getting nowhere
I live in a past
that I forget
how important it is to forget
over and over and again
but it still happens
only the one time
only when I was young
only with a child's mind
only as a child
So go the seconds
without being paid heed
they pile up high
too high to climb
but really they are for the gleaning
over and over and again
they havey all happened
only the one time
only when I was young
only with a child's mind
only as a child
So flows my waking
in circles still wider
purple like bruises
always I have earned
or at least haven't fought to avoid
over and over and again
not just the one time
not just when I was young
only with a child's mind
not just as a child
So comes the future
filled with the memory
always the same thing
as it happened that day
pulling me back to that happening
over and over and again
only that one time
just as when I was young
just as with a child's mind
only as a child
This is personal.
This happened to me.
This happens to me each day.
This is only some thing.
Only what I need to overcome
to be alive for a few more years.
Biology. What the fuck...
