Shower Afficionados

A Poem by an I adrift

Keep on forward!

 

I'll take the fall for this

Another one you managed to miss

 

It's kind of like that time...

Oh wait like every time

 

I can't feel the ground

I've never been able to

I've been floating slowly upward to heaven

 

I don't know when I'll get there

 

Why does it feel like I'm in Hawaii?

 

The weather's calm

But the storm inside the self is much too...

floating

 

Selective talents

 

I'm there right now

I wonder if they know

 

They see me walking down the sunday streets

With my tight jeans huggin' and my disco beats

Dance for me

Dance for them

But you slide right off

Like children do at playgrounds

 

Try and make sense

And see through them

And into me

You'll know it's me because I never take my eyes off yours

Curse the day I see them cry

From whoever none worthy

 

Flip the switch

Body doesn't?

 

?

 

I've got the 1, 2, 3 today

Say what you need to say

With little delay

 

I'm sensing storms and my mind's been split

Running out of bounds into fields of s**t

 

Where was I before?

The time had ended

You were there I swear

And you said to me...

 

Blue skies bring relief

To the being and the mind

So much so it had shutdown

 

You know the twelve year old hockey player

With dreams that would go past the sky

But maybe I just missed

 

You push me and I cave in to the pressures of this world

 

Leave me behind with an unknowing...

 

The days have come and gone

And you've been gone so damn long

Sensing some wrong

 

What do these red walls symbolize

But a broken home and tired eyes

I watch the days

I hope they're watching over you

 

Writing on the desk

Checking the access

Tunnelling through Mars

Riding our favorite stars

 

Finally Inside New Interesting Safe House

 

Running faster

Closing in on disaster

 

The pages want to close on me

Like everyone else

I'll be on the garage shelf

Listening to you laugh

And writing out a map

To your heart

I know where to start

 

My life and my

 

S**t that's all I've got

Why make me realize now?

I aim to nothing now.
