A Poem about Restless Souls
Agitated spirits restlessly uneasy
...in and out, up and down;
...their drill in its unpredictable swing
Over and under, above and below
...their souls on the usual erratic beat go
Between and betwixt don't stop their show
...halt and move like an omnibus
...they couldn't care less about what the outside world thinks
They reside contentedly within themselves
...and are driven by an unbalanced state of mind
They do not reason reasonably
...with their always ready-to-go legs
They hop uninvited in your way
...and without sound - the same old same old move along in to the path of another
Moved by unmanagable urges
...a haunted being proceeds busily about
Stillness in short bouts
...a fidgety conscience resists
Something must move;
...head, eyes, ears, tongue, hands, legs, Et al.
Loyally ready
...in a split second of a random command
