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
