Loop De Loo

Happy like buttered popcorn at a matinee
They see they feel they leach from me.
Have become the seasoning 
Have become the salt
Deprive your self not
Fill your bowl with the drool of me
Hair raising sensation of a twisting rag
Bile rising 
Ah please rub, discharge the overload
Smell the ozone
CRACK!
Deflate, the me
Red balloon strung
Hobbled horse
Towered origami edged crane, broken wing
misery mine, yours, ink seep on a white page.
Trance dancer edging toward the blue of my purple prose.
Violet coming of the id to coconut oil fakings.
Happy, ahhhhhhhh, exalted, crucified, repeat.

All I can think about is how much I wanted a "Baby Ruth" candy bar yesterday. CRAVING!!! First desire for candy in months. I repressed the urge. Then, I read your poem. Buttered popcorn...drool...coconut oil. My mind took it all out of context. LOL! Then, I smiled and said to myself, "After that buttered sweet potato with walnuts, raisins, and cinnamon, who needs a Babyruth bar? I must have gotten it out of my "bi-polar system! LOL!!! Enjoyed your poem. Love you. Dane Ann

I think you captured the spirit of one who is bi-polar, Deborah. Like the quick meter in this poem! Love, Carolyn
