“Mumble”

 

 

Speaking mumble yet still maintaining a will,

The quietness of the early night saying hello.

Things are not quite right around,

I’m acting like on a drug but just a drop of coffee running on my blood.

I’m good, I guess I still am.

 

Pillows below but flying above,

My books on shelves are running back down.

Foods looks like on a mess which I can’t reach,

Am I on a beach?

Nope, I’m in a room full of fool,

And I’m one of those.

One thought on ““Mumble”

  1. I love the imagery…syntax/word tense needs to be fixed re: coffee in my blood and room full of fools (pl) because you are taking about being one of those (pl).
    I love the line, “Speaking mumble but maintaining a (but use my) will.” Using “my” adds more alliteration.
