I just want to lay here, stay here, waste away the day here,
I want to scrounge on my dreams as I lounge on it seems that's not one of the options you give.

In this state,
I wait and
I wait.
I could lay here forever never knowing what living was or could be believing I'm free
streaming through consciousness
a pawn in some game where the options are a stalemate or death.

Still laying here, inert and obeying the law of gravity
waiting for some opposite attraction or a
magnetic impulse to give me traction and
I wait
and
the weight
is
at sea level
quite bearable.
