Tangible

Teetering, seething random things. 
Dragon-like hopelessness. 
Rough and zig-zagging. 
With eyes. 
Or other senses. 

With teeth and also roots. 
Tippy-toe disaster senses. 
Songs I pretend are dust but aren’t. 
I had enough freezer burnt hair. 
And computer ears. 

There’s tangible stuff everywhere. 
The stuff that gets eaten.
That gets low battery mode, and still lives!

Not much can come back from being that way. 
Like taste buds. 
Drop out over a sour attitude. 
I really don’t know how to explain the gargling fresh cut grass feeling.

I have a lot of tangible things in this life. 
Got hit by a freeze ray anyway.

Such a novel and expressive poem! Again I like it, though it is simultaneously playful and disastrous (like those 'tippy-toe disaster sensors'. J :)
