Out of My Head

Strange things that happened

As a small child I remember looking up to the sky,
imagining that the cloud formations were different animals.
As a teenager, after smoking some weed or melting some LSD under the tongue,
anything was possible.
I saw my cat in a box,  jump forward and turn into a man.
I witnessed neon signs mutate into Godzilla.
I knew I was high, laughed it off and continued home.

Few things scare me.
I have literally been saved by the finger of God,
as it sprang out from a sandy cliff above a rocky fall,
of two hundred feet.
My descent had just begone,
the edge of the cliff crumbled,
the root of a tree dislodged
and I grabbed hold of it.
From there I climbed to safety.

Last night my wife wheezed as she slept,
it,
with my dreams caused me to awaken,
thinking a women was under attack.
I sprung out of bed,
grabbed my cell phone and ran to the window.
Soon, I realized the the sound was my wife's pinched nose.
However, the anxiety caused an adrenalin rush in me that kept me awake.
Somewhere out there a scream goes ignored.
