Cellophane isn't deep enough.
Over the cellophane chatter there was a faint sound
Yet when I whispered shhh
It was like I was drowning in a staircase of voices
One over the other
Louder and higher than the last.
Ideas splattered like paint across the walls
Yet not one pursued to be a portrait
Almost as if afraid of the permanence
No idea was as thick as honey, unable to stick.
Alone and vulnerable
Like a daisy in the wind
A weed lucky enough to be called a flower
Now tell me may,
Have you yet found the power
To answer my beckoning call?
One not easily heard above the crinckle of cellophane conversation.
See through tissue paper
Fluff, often used but left behind
Partially amused, while time passed by
There was never enough.
Can you hear me over the wind?
This cellophane box I seem to be trapped in.
There is no hope for those who can not adapt
So for now I'm hopeless
Or maybe it's you
The cellophane hopefull I can still see through.
