experience is foreign 2/25/19


the texture of experience is so foreign 
as a feeling of itself
even though the particulars are 
when in my presence, soothing
but the sensing screens often get cluttered 
the hum of next coming 
is always in the background
I seem to be regularly victimized 
as unsuspecting audience 
the feel of being a bystander 
is too impersonal to me
many times the retentive mind account 
is too demanding
the need for logistics and understanding 
weighs upon me
the reality-frame of it 
is sometimes a burden to carry
often times there are outbreaks of opinions 
and side-bark remarks coming to exchange
yes, I seem to succumb 
to the in-my-face subject matter
and my enormity gives way 
to the frame at hand
the time travel like this 
is burdensome
although I do like to surrender 
to the downpour of rain upon me
and the tongue-lashings 
that come my way on a breezy day
but otherwise experience is
food for thought, crumbs of disclaimers, 
and subsequent clean-ups of the mind
when I would rather have 
the basking of a new moon night sky
and be overhearing of its silence 
as its faraway 
in somewhat muted dialogue . . .
