Thoughts and Non Thoughts

50 on the front 9, 50 on the back 9

From a long time of swimming underwater, gliding at the bottom Holding your breath but unable to break the surface to catch your next breath It is like a dream, a nightmare, a half-awake consciousness you want to escape but know cannot Or wouldn’t because you’re not ready Or tell yourself it is pointless Cause you will go back underwater to hold your breath And swim and glide at the bottom When do you see the sky Feel the wind on your cheeks and look around with a smile Even underwater you are frowning Where does this all lead to You are not swimming around in circles but know you are bound by walls Desperately you want to break the surface And break it for good And maybe admire the water from above or simply let it play around your feet The water gets heavier You sink lower But the water gives you a chance It whiffs you up and you break the surface And you don’t have to go under again
