the time off your fingertips
ticks on--slowly
beneath the eyes and ears
of forgotten tomorrows
around the world in eighty days
and you still don't know where you are
or how you got there
but familiarility remains--
somehow;
in the faint sound bytes
replayed over and over
in the depths of your mind
in the faded imagery
blurred with time
into a menagerie of
imagination and
actuality;
you reach for some resemblance
some distinguishing characteristic
to set the true reality of past
above the deja vu of present,
and/or
the occasional acid flash back,
and/or
the occasional mind derailment;
for a moment you touch it
you hold its hand,
you dance the best ten seconds of your life
and then the music stops
leaving you lost once more
to the cool breeze of onward existence.
