Fishing

I’m an All-Star at bottling emotions, I run around my court dribbling emotions onto paper. Ball hogging my sensitivities, no one has ever been able to catch me.. I’m too damn quick. I’ve sent every nerve that has threatened to expose itself deep into a dark hole. Hammered a cross at it’s base labeled "Eyes only." The most technical term I could muster. Most people steer clear of technicalities. I’m suddenly thinking about Boyle’s law. I feel like a hooked fish, being reeled up from deep waters and I can picture the rushing current of self doubt passing over me while you bring me ashore. I can see your reaction to my insides protruding out of my mouth like that Bass I caught in Conroe. I just hope you can stand the image. I’ve never felt a pull so strong. -James Kelley 2013, All rights reserved.
