    Currently Incarnated

    Somewhere, somehow, someone is me

    Trapped in incarnation, suddenly

    It’s sunny somewhere else, shadows shift across the sea

    Talking a lot about nothing, eyes skimming infinity

    Planet Earth turns and burns, bittersweet as we take it in

    Exhausting the cornucopia, I don’t feel like feeling anything

    In the grand scheme of things were all already dead

    I love it all way too much and it’s fucking up my head

    The city’s shutting down and I never know when to quit

    The sky’s so full of empty and I’m just so full of shit

    Clearly I see the end coming from afar

    A speck on a speck on a speck in a bar

    Glad you liked it and took the time to comment! :)

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
