Waking Unperturbed

The assertive voice
Of feigned intelligence
Hazy state, maybe stupor

Numbers that need to be solved
There’s no message
In this mess of words
A trail of trials

Overcame for triumph
That lasts up to the next one
The little errands that’s never done
A canvas thick with colored oils

Painting no picture
Then, a few minutes after ten
Satisfaction seeps in
The voice finds its way

Feigning the senses, as intended
