sullen poem found on a paper bookmark

bleary in the mid-morning. 

people on the phone 
shape love
outside my ears 
like a ball you make by throwing

from your chest. from pomegranate fogs
other headaches 
catch up and hijack the dreams. 
no thought will rescue me 

and no thought worth rescuing 
what Ego has brought me: 
magpie pity, vain as silver 
mirrors. i need company.
