Ice Saccades

slipping
   when the wallpaper walks
   and the floor
   pulls the wind out of you



*saccades: a rapid movement of the eye between fixation points
  (impaired, as with concussions, causes vertigo, anxiety, fatigue)

The elderly do not need ice; standing still, they need only quickly look up to lose their balance. When you see that happen, please buy the elderly a drink so they will have an excuse other than old age, for falling! Aloha! Rico

Without your given definition of saccades I envisioned you as Minny Mouse being goofy sliding taking a dive for crying children, "Is she hurt" jajaja Thanks for, what we wrote about, and making my mind up for me. My heart goes out to you my so very great poetic friend.

Yes, mi Musa and I also talked about how fascinating the brain can become.

"Minny Mouse doing goofy", made me think of drag ;) Thank you my friend. It's pretty fascinating stuff. I finally understand where the anxiety came from, I knew it was physical, but not why or how. xomo
