[?7hcomic trip


trapped in the shadows
a feeling of restricted thought
patterns flash by, contrasting the environment
a picture of life:
still life in a moving frame.
a beast lying just out of sight
senses my presence and waits to strike
fear overcomes my senses, a diluted feeling of loneliness.
the scene changes and i am no more.
but a fragment of the reader's immagination
a creation that does not exist beyond this.

Poet/SAD '95
