It Seems...

all of a sudden
bang
it hits you
like
like a cardboard box
falling
falling down on you

and you turn around
to see the light
a light
that shines back
in a chlorine white
painted cinderblock
world-wide cave-in

scream
screams coming
like steam screaming
from a kettle
screaming steam that burns
from the inside
out

a world that won't
wash away when
the spots
all signal decay
of a mind that holds
holes
shaped of hearts

it's all for you
to stop and see
it's all the things
that mean everything
and nothing means
what you think
if you think it seems...
