the matters that matter

wide-eyed, sickly silent
slam breaks. press rewind.
it’s the kind of short answer
pulls your navel to spine.
strange cloudy awareness…
what’s said has been said
and now all the commotion
stands still in your head–
and everything’s clear,
making cynical sense.
there’s pain by the pound
..yet the numbness–immense
wide-eyed, sickly silent
slam breaks. press rewind.
in the land of the free
and the home of the blind.
