Babe

Pig in the City

Space. Timelessness.
Nonexistence of reliable sense.
The music doesn't calm me
clobbered in independence.

Words. Spoken.
Keen to hear them.
But I might pull my ears out.
if I had the option.
Talking. All the time
Maybe they should stay shut. 
Frightened, this might be
how the world is.

Fringe disadvantages
of leaving my own.
Into a new one,
looking for what everyone was.
Shifting universes
between midnights
and midmornings.
Yet, not moving a bit.
Trying to love and accept.
Spend the day cleaning
the trouble stains,
around the voices,
amidst the words,
spoken through familiar lips.
I wonder if this is happiness.
Then again, I never came looking.
