Where is it you go
When nothing that you see makes sense?
Perhaps inside,
To introspect:
To pull the tangled threads apart
And see the pattern, patterns
Once intended
Perhaps to just get lost
In entertainment,
Sports, or
Scrolling
Or maybe to be transported by
The unexplainable power of music,
The heightened community of theater, or
The multidimensional architecture of movies
Or maybe even
The other world of some video game,
Or book
And I do all these things, as well —
But often,
I go to where there are few sounds,
My mind whirling with unspokens
Thoughts
Needing extraction from
The intersection of what
Has been felt,
And what
Cannot be said
For
The story is the moral, and
Words
Have their own music
