Phosphene

stars......no.....      
that's NOT    
what is seen.......    
    
the illusion      
is more like      
a crown of sparks      
dancing on periphery      
    
they seem prompted      
by simple acts      
of physical change.....      
    
usually      
the Head rising      
or lowering      
at slightly      
the wrong      
velocity      
    
these are      
induced states of pause      
instigated by metabolic signals      
cascading through nerves      
tweaking the brain      
making it tell it`s own      
often disconnected conscious  
     
"WAIT"  
     
let the moment pass      
    
hesitate      
    
this mild      
hallucination      
blots out      
the hectic pace      
of an      
artificial      
de-volved      
pretentious      
ghost town environment      
    
our gigantic      
contrived      
seemingly endless series      
of Hollywood back-lot      
soundstages      
    
those sperm-like      
Heaven-sent      
illuminati      
encircle,      
capture awareness      
light and die          
restore defaults      
lift the blinds      
restoring      
the proper state      
of asking.....    
   
why?
