time dies when you are having none
amid the agitation a kind of exhaustion
a peaceful repose leaning out
there’s a lot happening
some of it happened to me
some of it i caused to happen to others
now it all rushes over me
a big wind of white noise
scattering sirens shrieks shouts and sighs
a temporary shelter against a permanent storm
my mood glued with equal parts wisdom and resignation
as states of mind go i’ll take it
for now

is this about being in relentless traffic due to a highway failure? (such a wonderful metaphor for all of us.)
sorry, had to say it!
the poem is clear and strong and I enjoy the comment of as states of mind go……..
