This balance is unsteady. I am no wanderer. This is no conquest. “Would you rather have this moment? Or that one?” Othering myself into eternity. Plop that in your goblet And drink it up. Huge, cool gulps of consciousness, Whirled creation.
I spend my freest time Dancing in the stuff that spills out of me When I’m just too full, My soul confetti, The lumpy fungus that grows While I’m not looking. Undulating in the ins and outs. Roll in it, rip it up, squish it together, Choke it down, The sticky glaze of “I don’t know” Getting my fingers *****
I sleep in an acid washed dreams Inhaling and exhaling every part of This constant spin cycle That stirs my existence And shakes me like a cocktail. Rest easily, cradled in the fluff Of all of the possibilities. Eat them like Tic-Tacs Smell the minty pleasure of it On my breath When I splatter my being against the walls.
My life is a lemonade summer I dream in sweet bits That sting my throat like sour candy Back into reality. From there, I daydream to car keys knocking the dashboard Sing to my own chaos And laugh to my drumbeat.
