360 degrees of separation

Hard symphonies
Pulsating beat in my mouth
The air is thick inside
Kicking the walls of my cheeks
A wild animal lives there
I find it hard to tame him

You take three seconds
To make a decision
And no is your favourite word.

It took me some time
To understand that
You never really considered
Which word is my favourite.

A dog runs for his tail.
In circles
360 degrees of nothingness.
Empty Space
Peter Brook would argue
If the dog chases the tail
Or the tail chases the dog
At one point perspectives shift.
And suddenly you do not see the dog anymore
You see the hole in between
And the space around it.
