Floral Patterns- by: unknown forgotten

The truth behold, and upholds itself
Turn your mattress over before it breaks your back
Strangers and passer-byers yell and scream and shout
Since they're you worst enemies and one best friend
Jump the fence and take all you can grab
A link between you and the taxi you never took
Pacing miles within 6 square feet
On those new shoes that jam your toes
Money down the drain and a window pane
Thinking back to that math class in which you didn't do well
Counting the marks etched in the wall
And dividing them by the amount times you heard seagulls make noise
Upon the water you accidentally stepped in it yourself
When the water rumbled forth bearing that floating dead fish
You vomited and it reminded you of that night you almost expressed yourself
And how earlier you had been hundreds of miles away in the barnacle infested depths
