Cipher

Intangible and disconcerting
But I know it's not just in my head
It's not routine, but then what is it?
Like soggy socks, discomforting dread

Don't want to rush, misidentification
Could bite me later (not worth the cost)
I wait and watch. This clock ticks slowly...
A minute wasted, opportunity lost

Cautious; careful; not willing to risk
But troubled because I know something is wrong
Is it jaded to think I'm imagining this?
Frame of reference; I move along

As you stay still, your vitruvian portrait
Helpless and powerful, what should I do?
You give me some clues to help solve this enigma
Paranoia takes over, I fear they're untrue

Or maybe our levels are just incompatible
Meaning distorts and I don't have the key
But this cipher's impossible, Can't solve this riddle
And though you think it's clear, well, it's madness to me.
