The Flutter of Air

The flutter of air
As it stirs
Under and around
This pacing figure
Who dwells
Like a shark in a lagoon
In this dark room pool
Of stagnant frustration
And stark figments of
White hot feathers in the blue breeze
His thoughts turn
As the pounding of dusty socks
Subsides
And the air turns ominously still
Without motivation
Smooth involuntary surrender
As this genius of blunder
Rests in his cave
For the moment
