I am experimenting
Yes I am
By taking away a freedom
I abused
How I channeled
My mind
Into words
Kind unkind
When I could have stayed
In silence
But now when the gates are closed
The boundaries expand
My thoughts can wonder
Beyond and beyond
They go thick
They go thin
Mingled like a mesh
Waiting to be ordered
And then for a moment
They no longer exist
So I open my eyes
And look around
For the first time I see
The interrupted view of the present
Yes I am
By taking away a freedom
I abused
How I channeled
My mind
Into words
Kind unkind
When I could have stayed
In silence
But now when the gates are closed
The boundaries expand
My thoughts can wonder
Beyond and beyond
They go thick
They go thin
Mingled like a mesh
Waiting to be ordered
And then for a moment
They no longer exist
So I open my eyes
And look around
For the first time I see
The interrupted view of the present
