do unto others as you would have them do unto you
yet silence persists once i stand still for too long
ambient wind blowing oppositionally
and suddenly im gone with it

like sharks it seems like i have to keep moving or ill drown in its lament
i wish someone held me through
going with the motions
lonely floating freely through the water
the gauge illegible to the observer

id only be grasping the air of what isnt
if i didnt have a shark to feel the gap
instead its tail curls around

the loudest one in the room is the loneliest of them all
and i have a lot of words to get out
but when a tree falls in the forest
