Escalating Escapism

Currently Escalating escapism The lionfoot bathtub is My heavenly grace Head under water Under the ocean water The turquoise jeweled water particles All over me A beautiful dream I don’t want to wake up Don’t pinch me Just leave me be With the soft, white gold sand The endless blue horizon With twilight approaching And dusk coming close on its tails A gorgeous game of tag A slow, silent crackle of thunder Soft satin sashes of white Be kind, I say Running away From the uncertainties From the harsh gray lines Just let me be Just let me be Don’t drag me down Down into the undertow I can’t breathe Heavy minds Weighing me down I’m going to drown The tense pressure of the Shaken champagne bottle of Feelings Tick tok tik tock Close the door Don’t let the steam of dream Leak through the creaks Wet fingers Sliding across the screen Skip skip skip Repeat Rewind Stop Play Keep playing Just keep playing
