Thinking. <br /> <br />Not quite thinking. <br />More aware of being aware of <br />Not quite thinking. <br /> <br />Like seeing a sign: <br />‘Thought ahead’, <br />And absent-mindedly <br />Turning off the road <br />Before being stuck <br />In a traff-think jam. <br /> <br />Or <br />Relentlessly rolling <br />An overweight <br />Almost Thought <br />Tantalisingly close <br />To the top <br />Of <br />Sisyphus Hill <br />With its <br />Promised perspectives <br />Clear to <br />Heaven and Hell, <br />Only <br />To feel the failure: <br />The fallback: <br />Its faintest echo <br />Evaporating, <br />Fading forlornly <br />Through the misty <br />Fingers of intangibility <br />Toward its own, unborn, infinity.<br /><br />Tony Jolley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sisyphus-hill/
