Reluctant, I absorb
Mostly everything thrown in my direction
It all gets tossed into a bin
Like a fire hose aimed at a teacup
Some of it is sorted
But I remember everything
Tied up in a ball
A million rubber bands all coalescing
Where one ends and another begins
I never can tell
Confessions and confidants
I won't give away your secrets
I'm not allowed to
And besides, who would I tell
This extraordinary life
This random convergence
Is beyond my ordinary description
Although I manage
Dredging some of it to the surface
Hoping someone understands
Resonance fades and understanding takes hold
For a nanosecond, someone else
Can see reality through my filter
Mad attempts at communicating
Serve my soul as well as provide context
Because, sometimes, often
I have no fucking idea
