Rhymless Thinking Poem by Marijke McKinney

It’s not that I change my opinions
With the different crowds that accompany me
I truthfully have no stable impression
If this is a mad world or yet just beauty

Split faced emotions
A dreary street under some light poles
Shadowed by an uplifting energy
That all will be ok through the holes

I’m neither sad nor happy
Only smiling for some
And crying for the others
I know so much and believe in so little

Lay in bed nights at a time
And after all this thinking
I’ve got nothing
But mindless rhyming
