Hope I don't erase this.....AGAIN!

Eulogy for Caffeine
2/6/97 jdh


trapped, confined
let motionless
within a curved
environment
no walls
just a circular
fence
the great wall
of china
empty
half-empty, half-full
over the rim
never knowing content
nothing can fill this void
hot, scalding
muddy liquid
penetrates
awakens
set the nothingness
in motion
still not enough
piercing, shattering
a cream scream
as powder
drifts like snow
through the
china wall
burnts ashes cinder
as the pseudo-snow
spirals to its death
aided by a
metal apparatus
darkness
brought by
oval being
specks of
light
only to
reveal
a diminished
supply
lower levels
wasting away
back again
to the big
empty
room
within the
great wall
of china


this is the author's first attempt at surrealism. if you get it, good. if you don't get it, well that's the whole idea! current scribblings pending...
