Dangerous Minds
riding rivulets down
insane power of drain
mist erupts, exclamation crashes
the edge of humanity
at the rainbow’s end
the beauty screams:
c’mon in
pins and needles
from the parietal lobe
to the sole
the droplets
run and dive
right in, exploding in laughter
and delight
man is afraid
rightfully so
afraid to decompose
composure
is at wit’s end
we slip, we slide
in our mind
feel the sinking sand
on the brink
of a dream; a nightmare
fully awake
its wake divides the truth from lies
do we exist
take a kiss from the cliff
the teacher’s ruler:
Go on now…
What student doesn’t know better
unless you see other fish
flying overboard
peer pressure stops at heightened levels
except on slow boil
then
the facts become even more exact
as you meet
the boil Maker
