My brain is running too fast for me to catch up with
And the world is running faster
And that the colors in my mind
Don’t fit on paper..."

To be standing at a window and seeing
Out, out and beyond
The solid wall that keeps the window’s place..."

Always alert and in awe
Of experience

My mouth is a secret.
Going on steadily until too much is said
And wishing it was closed..."
