What Is Silence

Will the ramblings of my mind never cease?
What are the chances of a pedestrian thought?
The wheels keep turning like a California stop
As it continues through the intersection
What is this tingling in my brain telling me?
Like I don't know the answer…
Nothing slows down as I pump the brakes
And I see the night passing me by
Like so much road being traveled by the weary
Where is this next rest area I'm supposed to find?
And who was it that told me that this road trip
Would be filled with the delight of the manic
Never to be suppressed as it oppresses
The functionality of the one behind the wheel
But at least these rambling thoughts keep me company
Lonely as I am…
It is the way I show my thoughts some affection
By inserting sleights and verbal jabs
For them I wish there was such a thing
Has a timeout or a penalty flag
But it has never been that easy to quiet this mind
And bring peace to this tumultuous flow
Of unending thoughts as they shove, and they crowd
Like they were going to be the next ones
To be selected for the biggest prize
To which I would find that the biggest prize
Would be silence…
