Heavyweights

I am just dragging around the town carrying this heavy weight in my body when my normal weight is a hundred and ten pounds and that’s the weight that will take me to where destiny is bound. I am leaning from side to side with a stomach flushed in front of me and a behind that is filled with hypocrisy. I do regular exercise and daily workout on the tread mill, but I just cannot stop stuffing my gut with Kentucky fried chicken. I am going on a diet today to shed some of this precipitous heavy weight to regain my balance for that special day. The sun burst through the clouds stirring up raw emotion all about; you have got to contact me before the day is done, and if apple and pie could fall from the sky, the earth would rumble and the building would tumble and the skies and the moon would align together and we will be one with time; so come and see outside the wall next to the big red gate with pictures of dog, shapes, a girl and pencil printed on its surface. It is where the busy bodies are always looking for a brawl and sound of screaming children lurk behind the wall. I am dragging around the universe digging into some dirt my bodyweight has a hold on me but the light years are propelling me. I have a giant object in front of me looking at objects that you can hardly see; I can see the stars, the moon and the sun searching for a place to run, and an age-old camera sitting beside me watching you polishing the gun. He has a big collection from long range to short range “blaze”; he spends the entire day to make them clean and you can see his entire face reflecting in them. It seems as if he is preparing for a mission, havens knows who is on the list, get your bags and pans together before the light years anchor .Light is traveling at 186, 000 miles per second over the counter and underneath the bed, it is getting ready for a journey so make sure that you guard the party and cover your head. I can see the galaxies standing up in front of me with whipped cream, butter cup and wonder girl riding to the next end of the earth, they have billions of stars bundled together in galaxies that are far from each other and yet they share so much together; it is the love that you cannot see that thread the needle between you and me and whether you are in Andromeda, New York, Pennsylvania, or California or down a Yardley, the universe is waiting to embrace you. I am just 2.5 million light years away. I am getting ready to start a brand-new day.
