Unhealthy Necessities
Fly–Floating away
Toes gripping the earth
“Not today.”—and I sway
Rush 2 grab what little I have
Are you mad?
3 to 1
And the bottle’s gone
Fictitious lawn
Fumbling home
Stare deeply—oh dead-eyed drone
Screams turn to whispers
My mental blisters—take haste and heal
Inevitable scars?
And still I a–peel
Shoot up
Good morning.
Blinded by salty I’s
Higher eye rise
You must be mad.
Surprise!
Skies contaminated by cries
Ensuring an anticipatory demise
No way to sur– prise!
Heart drops
Incohesive thoughts
Towards regrets
Plunging until the earth is met
Shoot up—Grounded
Not for long.
And I sway
