Pulse

They always said curiosity killed the cat.

 

Rat-ta-tat-tat.

 

Insignificant, curly shavings of thoughts slap the pink cerebral walls,

 

Porous with confusion and intellectual growth.

 

Experience.

 

Plump veins intricately woven between billowing realms of data

 

developing, destroying, at an electrical pace

 

Pulsing hollow answers like a motherless hooved heart ******* venom from Daddy’s fingertips

 

Menacing raindrops

 

On the tin roof over the shelter where too much dust collects

 

And Mr. Potato head and his family slowly disintegrate

 

On a day where the sky split

 

and tears dropped out

 

and all of those **** pillows

 

Just couldn’t catch them.

 

Wringing a grey water cloth

 

From the aquatic fabric we’ve always dreamed of consuming

 

Or sleeping under and over and in between.
