Numbers mystify a white palette;
Black and white contrast a colorless problem-
As the wrist wipes across, smudges of graphite cover white fields
The numbers represent senseless thought
Pen strokes controlled by an action, not reaction
Staring at symbols unkown to human language
Eyelids drop lead weights into a d e ep oc ea n of fa ti gue
