Ears listen for noise <br />Lungs gasp for breath <br />Eyes search for sight <br />Hands feel for touch <br />Hearts wait for love <br />Minds think for reflection <br /> <br />Ears listen for noise <br />Spare me your spoken word <br />If I’m supposed to be listening <br />You waste your time breathing <br /> <br />Lungs gasp for breath <br />Every time I speak my voice goes flat <br />If im supposed to be talking <br />You waste your time hearing <br /> <br />Eyes search for sight <br />I could use a little light <br />If I’m supposed to be watching <br />You waste your time reaching <br /> <br />Hands feel for touch <br />Calloused fingertips go numb <br />If I’m supposed to be waving <br />You waste your time looking <br /> <br />Hearts wait for love <br />The watch says I’m late for something <br />If I’m supposed to be loving <br />You waste your time thinking <br /> <br />Minds think for reflection <br />Mirrors return weak images <br />If I’m supposed to be reflecting <br />You waste your time waiting<br /><br />Adam Holmes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/nonsensical-sensory/
