Existing out of sight.

Another month goes by, 
the window calls for a wipe.
And the desk, and the books 
and everything else all at once. 
Does the effort see a return,
of each wipe, followed by a sigh.
And a heartache, 
a mind that's seen information to the brink,
and as it overflows, a couple times. 
Into the nose, back onto the throat
from there on, causing a familiar pain to return, one from when I was a child. 
And to be locked in a prison of a house,
in where I wished any semblance of control, 
to imprison someone, be a prisoner 
like my self, under my humility and help.
By every other year, the lock rusted,
and fell off, a few years ago.
But the bird had been tamed alas,
to lock themselves again if the lock came undone.
And the last time away from the cage,
a year ago that was.
From the open skies again 
calls the waterfall that I visited
or one the year before, 
making promises that I didn't live on terms with. 
Nothing really happens, no one really cares afterall,
to read, to listen, to talk, to be,
a mere slogan of what they preach.
And I'm much the same, 
no worth is made from an ambiguous take
of an average person's nuance
in a sonic space,
or in words on the page.
