i lose my train of thought often.
         something always catches me off-guard &
this time i'm wondering if the walls
                                        of your room are
a peach-tan or an
                i'm-drowning-tonight-and-there's-
nothing-you-can-do-to-stop­-me-navy.
i keep the thought at arm's length so
it doesn't get too close for comfort.
               who knows what it's capable of.
