i said too much last night (variation 2)

i said too much last night;
hurled words i did not mean
  unthought words of careless consequences;
spewed out words i didn't comprehend, 
words i didn't feel
   mindless words of heedless influences;
out of

pride or

jealousy (?) or

---alcohol-induced-peer-pressured-competitive--- anger.

an idea carefully carved in your mind might be unthought

like Bills pushed through the system
binding laws 
yet unread by Legislators

not more enlightened than a bright filament of rage
and at the turn of a switch
you be(come)
someone
             lse.

awake

one night

insomnia lulled me; was i awake?

as i stared at the sky i

was struck by

my

    in

       significance

 

if the stars that luminesce

immensely and brightly 

become lost in

dis

   stance

and

    quantity

 

what of i

 

?
