every thought is
smeared and 
residual,
like the faint 
thin 
vapor trails 
that streak the hollow sky,
unspelling 
the wreck of all fact
and ruin of all time
nothing bound
is happening,
and nothing definite
is bound to happen
my skin 
is not deaf 
from this mute shout
and i'm 
definitely not thinking 
i can't walk smart in these 
dumb boots
