Something Seems To Become

Something seems to fall somewhere for some time. 
Someone asks somebody about something 
and they reply with some words about why. 
Somewhere someone else now goes nowhere else. 
The angel of death walks on the sea shore 
and talks to the shadow with wordless thought. 

Tangled vines heavy with grapes hang on poles. 
The girl talks nonsense words to the blind tree 
about why clouds erase shadows of light. 
She dwells at the beginning of the end. 
She asks if she is who she thinks she is 
and listens to no one ever respond. 

She puts blank books on the library shelf 
where no one reads them till the end of time. 
When anyone asks her about her name 
she smiles and pretends they can understand. 
Something floats past her face with ancient wings. 
She wonders why she cannot see her face. 

Wheels spin in flashing ecstasy of thought. 
No one believes they are the one robot 
who understands human nature the best. 
She points her finger to reveal the west 
where the sun bleeds into the desert waste. 
Something acquires value when it gets bought. 

Something seems to become more real than real. 
She refuses to explain how she feels. 
Someone asks her if she wants to return 
so she stands somewhere else just for some time. 
Everyone sees her shadow on the ground 
disappear each time clouds bring silent rain. 

She runs somewhere for some time to explore 
some place where she has never been before. 
Everywhere encloses somewhere in walls 
designed to make things seem invisible. 
Else she backtracks on signless road to show 
everyone why she is someone they love. 

He stands somewhere and thinks about someone 
who is doing something to become real. 
She gives him photograph of his real face 
but he decides he is sure it is fake. 
She gives him bones of children time devoured 
to prove she understands nothing at all. 

With minimal effort of divine breath 
she speaks to everyone about how death 
will erase everyone from light of time. 
Something seems to appear before her eyes 
so she reaches out and touches the mask. 
She wonders why she is nobody else.
