my limbs are heavy I’m frozen glacially stuck. time pirouettes around me flies scribble emphatically in a stuffy room a soft wedge of light scans the cobwebs clinging to the wall a cellar spider hails to me from a box of kleenex this room is a mental illness ISpy every little pen cap or thumbtack every single thing is another thought in my head. my heart is pounding with the realization. another thought here to stay I spy the millions of hopes and dreads and fears and doubts scattered, strewn, stacked, piled teetering on the edge of collapse ever growing yet also collecting dust I spy my body defying gravity I feel like I’m on Jupiter   I think I’m becoming non-newtonian brain still whirring like a contrite zoetrope three fans drone in my ears and I jump— —startled as the garage door opens life continues around me I should at least put on pants.
