Emotion

By iceman

As emotion leeches my thoughts
I become a starched shirt that
no-one wants to wear

Desperately I try think,
I can think for myself,
yet emotion
turns me into someone
unworthy of consideration

We are but nothing
The pollen
That settles from the wind
Covering everything
In a fine blanket.
