Sometimes…

your fingernails are scratching wood

and sometimes…

friendly faces are not friendly

you can tell…

but most people will tell

you

that you can’t tell

It doesn’t really matter

though

they are confused

like spirits that desert

themselves

you can’t possess

another

and if you try

you’re a hollow shell

Being possessed by your own spirit

will cause you

to feel

the ripples of colored emotions

red and green

purple and black

the sunny side

always has a dark side

and it usually doesn’t touch down in green fields

it calls you

to stand beneath your purpose

and if you stand there

still

you will see yourself

when it rains

the nuance is better than

NOTHING

and

the hollow people

wonder why they are empty.
