Unparalleled

Posted on by Reena Saxena

My train of thought moves at jet speed
not on parallel tracks
but all over the space

words break out of neural pathways
to seek relevance in the world.
They lull me into a somnambulist state
before I incarcerate them on a page.

I wake up to find they have
disappeared into the sky
-my page is blank
Did a star employ them
to write a zillion stories?
turned and twisted
tales of privilege
-they see what none of us do

unconnected dots
in search of defining shapes
circling in whirlpools

words need parallel tracks
-I relish my unbound state
