PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

hyper vigilant self contained

epitome of heart restrained

careful balance constant worry

must slow down have to hurry

dancing on a razors edge i never fall

at the cusp of nothing and all

i manage to manage me out of real

and into perfect bland even keel

as another disappears singing the same song

sashay quietly away promising i did no wrong

and now you too, offerer of everything meaningless and lame

with your pointless bandaids, too absolve me just the same

what the hell was i worried about then?

next time i will smash the razor

and fall in all directions simultaneously

and trade all virtues for total chaos

in offering to Eris

because dancing straight into

life's offbeat sharp jarring rhythms

is the highest attainment

beyond any human attempt at judgement.

i will not blunt my edges anymore

and if you impale yourself upon my elbow

and limp away to a third world hospital

i'll know it's you too fragile for this jungle

and i'll wish you a speedy recovery from reality
