Pressdown moments lost

blatherskites and nincompoops
got lost from every hope
tried to guess from faraway
the meaning of the scope. . .
it all just got beleagered
by the vastness of the blue
and every time i turned around
i thought i just saw you. . .
dunderheads and helpless oafs
can't stop the way they are
but their denseness is a haven
their minds are not ajar. . .
