listless collective interest

displaced qualities abound
while weathering the storm.
escape reality by living
"in your dreams".
you wanna do something
different with your life?
check around both shoulder's
& blind spots
make sure no one is looking.
when the coast is clear,
begin the long, slow,
daunting, tumultuous
albeit remunerative
ascent to the summit.
here, you'll find clarity.

be on the lookout (tip-toes)
for those monsters
who are reminiscent of dogs,
not in an insulting way,
but in a wagging tail,
drool, barking,
chasing inanimate objects
sort of way.
they'll dupe you
if you're not cautious.

keep it quiet,
keep this to yourself.
don't let anyone in on this,
this isn't a rock show.
are you experiencing problems
in your current occupation?
It's possible that you're already
tugging
on the proverbial root.
don't pull too hard

I'll look into all this,
I'm free,
but not to be
bothered.
I'm looking for something.
