On A Trembling Sunday Night

I'm caught in others' whirlpools, sinking down with them.

My mind comes close to grasping the truth and then emotion pulls it away.

We are a species in transition, sandwiched between terror and logic; conflict and goodwill.

My head lurches but I realize the sooner I go to sleep the sooner I wake up to lies.

I want a medicine sleep, a stretch of blackness followed with remnants of vague dreams.

But I can't escape that vulgar rat race of a job it seems.
