Invisible Me Poem by Troy Cochran

Invisible Me



I feel their chatter
like the clatter of leaves

and sweep away their human voices
with a simple breeze.

The streets are always preaching at me
with the same old needs:

'Achieve! Achieve! Achieve! '
Ah,

but I have given them already
more than I can bleed.

In simple states of being
this invisible me

words and voices hurry by
to dust old magazines

and the world is just a rolling ball
guttering in its own debris.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I'm intrigued about the possibilities of practicing "the existential art" ~ that is, getting past the level of words and images, mine or anyone else's, and allowing some influx of direct knowing from our common Source to flow more freely to and through me.Looking to simple states of being as opposed to hectic states of activity, feeling like a hampster in a wheel.The irony is that it leads me, in the writing of this poem, to yet more words and images.Go figure.
