In The Zone

 

IN THE ZONE

 

Zone in
     you can hear a clock tick
Zone out
     wind blows away the silence
Zone in
     that's our cat snoring
Zone out
     I'm sleepless tonight
 
Zone in
     nightmares & dark dreams
Zone out
     thought as a kind of magic
Zone in
      incomprehension & confusion
Zone out
     the lure of spatial boundaries
 
Zone in
     entanglements & contradictions
Zone out
     stories set in other times
Zone in
     colour, movement, space & line
Zone out
     the consequence of landscape
 
Zone in
     growing disconnection
Zone out
      ghosts at the heart of each atom
Zone in
     indistinct shapes & smells
Zone out
     ripples across a pond
