The Shadows of Clouds
Tiny eyes
Stare
Through magnified
Lenses
Blinking at a world
Hidden inside
A fragile and
Unknown mind
Seeing nothing
That is real
Obsessed
By ideas of other
People's lives
And dreams and stories
Made from
Candy floss
Blown by an
Internal storm
Carrying them away
Some place
Where they can't
See
Where they can't stand
A spinning carousel
Fed by
A haunted
Feverous Imagination
Numbers
Miscalculated
Dangerous ideas
Breeding
On preconceived
Thoughts
Drawn from
The shadows
Of clouds
I don't know much
About these wind up
Puppets
But
I've seen them shake
At the paper scissors
Dangling before
Their eyes
Summoning
The forked daemons
That wait
Just
Behind
Their
Sanity
