Quality and sanity Buldging and receding Ring around the edges A blurry figure 'Cause if you find a needle Inside of a grass shack Bent up and misshapen Deformed pattern Balance and lucidity Pushing but not needing Keep it at the surface The right or the reason So collect all the details From one thing to another A hazy figure told me Lack want, need, faster Blurry fuzzy muted Not so very clear Murky or monotonous Can't see or hear I do not know tomorrow Only today A powder identity A head made of clay She saw patterns in sleep but also on the TV screen Observing and waiting for an image or Message derived, from a place she had grown to lean Why go outside, and look at the public feature?

Quality and sanity bursting into abnormality The holiest
