Target




A run at the store
left trailing shadows
at the coat rack,
by the sandals,
in the frozen aisle
between sips of cold latte -
their invisible shades
visible in the picking
up and putting down
of unnecessary things

Confessing,
I know nothing,
I know nothing.

Hmm, I really liked this, but I don't know about those last two lines. Go deeper.

Yeah... I was trying to find a way to express those times when you're in someplace, but you're not really there, because your thought is somewhere else, you're just going through the motion and everything that's in front of you are meaningless, because what you're doing say more of what's going on in your head. So yeah...
