save us

with the conversation

  spanning transient moments
  to mysterious waterbeds
and
friendly old men
  reaching out
  from unraveled worlds

 i’m  t h i n k i n g ~ …
i want to be in ‘the now’
   though distracted by
      thoughts like
~` i am running low on cigarettes `~

 i’m always over-stimulated

   by everything around
   taking note of it all

but

your eyes request

   all of my deliberation
   as your voice sings a song
     and
    as quietness wraps around
     i let go of the tavern
       one clang at a time
       until all else is mislaid

save us
