surface

at the surface
I am calm
my mask in place
hi, thanks, sure

beneath the surface
strata of thought, conflict
hungry, appointment, get to work
I want her, why can't I sleep, am I OK
what will remain when I die, will anyone care

inside the bubbles
of thoughts
more thoughts gurgle
grasping for my attention
mmm sheer cups, what is that harmony, where are my keys
I like Earl Grey, that's too sweet, I don't get the joke

random thoughts
move like fluid
never stopping
never quiet
never done
