broken string
arm in a sling
you’re on your own
curtain falls
engine stalls
you’re all alone
you saw your favorite colors on a beach somewhere
you look around but you can’t find them anywhere
a wobbly chair
a vacant stare
your sleepy eyes
a second thought
a dream that caught you
by surprise
there’s no one left to tell you when you’re in too deep
your changing mind is free to wander in your sleep
patterns form and vanish in the air
drawing lines that were never really there
you'llread the signs all over social media
apophenia
a trailer hitch
a dimmer switch
and a secret sigh
a crescent moon
a desert tune
and a long goodbye
you'll never know until you go behind the scenes
how the show is barely held together by the seams
an echo falls
down empty halls
then it disappears
your therapist
runs down a list of
your ancient fears
when a puzzle comes together in the fading light
check the box make sure you've got the picture right
patterns form and then vanish in the air
drawing lines that were never really there
you’ll read the signs all over social media
oh… apophenia
when the tanks are low
and the shelves are bare
and you start to find connections everywhere
when a spark spreads out like a solar flare
you're halfway there
a room for three
a new degree
but it's on the side
a tire swing or a diamond ring
honey you decide
the date is set now do the work till you get it right
but take your time looks like you're on your own tonight
patterns form and then vanish in the air
drawing lines that were never really there
you’ll read the signs all over social media
oh… apophenia
