Thinking
by bruce albern
aloud thoughts flourish
relinquishing freedom forged
by the shores of the oceans
dare to greet the sun at dawn
gregarious, dwindling in the frost
building walls of ice
melting in the sanity
of the rocking chairs shadow
older from the beginning
man assures himself of
inside bets he has made
recording helium and airs inside
zoos contain beasts of the present
while animals roam across the plains
standing in puddles of humanities reign.
discovering disbelief, dripping in pain.
