20%

found in an old sketchbook.

We are absent.

We are 20% of a whole.

We are messing with things

We can never understand.

 

Occasionally I look back

And see where time

Warped around us

 

And it makes me wonder

Why we aren’t all mad.

Brilliant! Absolutely Brilliant! Wish i wrote that...lol. Interestingly i feel that, that percentage increments slower and slower every decade (or even degrading). Though it should be the other way round... yes? are we on the right track?

The last line really has impact and effect. It's just there, a question and it makes the whole thing ring round. I really quite enjoyed this, and it's simplicity (well simple description).
