People mingle distantly
Talk is whispered
Not heard
Nowhere to go
No one to visit
Loneliness in the city
When all is hidden
Behind locked doors
And the rain is falling

Twilight Life
j a connor Mar 2022
The streets are uneasy at this time
When the twilight separates the day
Party goers , lonely wanderers, the disturbed
And yet
As the darkness fades
All takes on a new perspective

The real disappears and the routine begins once more
Uniformed of mind take their places in the daily experience  
Isolated beings for the sake of repetition and familiarity
Weak every day through the months and years
Until
All stops

Those in the shadows prefer the unknown and unexpected
The challenge of survival without a  fragile safety net
For it all ends for all
How we reach that point depends on our perception of a life lived
j a connor Jul 2023
By now the sun will have risen in the north
Set in the south and all within four hours
Twilight passes for night and day
Clouds no longer cruise the horizon
Seasons last for years
This haven replaced Earth
But I know where I'd rather be

To Boldly Go

Trespassing in the wake of hope
I rise to the challenge of looking for optimism in all aspects of drama
To feel charged is preferable to being drained
What's the worst that could happen apart from the already inevitable

This life despairs all who come to pass
Knowledge is regression

Never lasts

Encapsulate

Monochromatic scenes in this city of has beens
Hearts no longer pure from too long in the sewer
Youth no longer able from too long in the cradle
Destiny cut lean from living in a dream

Technicolor skies in this land where hope lies
Souls once unsure bring light to who endure
Age once a bane brings hope to who remain
Skills seldom seen bring reality to the dream

Must I look around
Involving myself in expanding intimacies
Something created from so much
But very little
Pushing me from the importance of the infinite
Rotating without break
Encompass all
No matter
No willing
I must float
Flex
Descend
Cease
If I am here
I must belong

The complexity of humanity can be found in the convenience store

The regulars, not looking to change the daily habits

The passing trade, hoping for a one stop

The lonely, finding a point of contact that may be the only one
                    not buying anything in particular but happy to advise
And

The cashier
                    overseeing all with power
                    never participating wholly in the dramas that unfold

But looking forward to the end of the day when the door closes

To sit down and write
                                       using pen and paper
a feeling of creation
                    
                the words

                                                                                          ?
the handwriting illegible unless studied                ? art ?
                                                                                          ?
thoughts of this particular time
passing
          may be forgotten soon

                                                     replaced with the boring
must do this
                      must do that        routine
