The Lowest At High Tide

heavy legs cannot tell a lie
yellow spots with wings reveal the most truth
visions of black has a punch that can knock you back into reality
when the hand is in a toilet stool full of soggy wet used toilet paper, rock bottom feels like pebbles with incurable toothaches

icicles on eyelashes are the most accurate meteorologists 
sweat stained shredded pillows are the pillars of an insomniac community
red devil moons seduce like temptation on angel dust
when a toboggan is over the feet as a wool blanket podiatrist, rock bottom feels like endlessness stopping for lunch but still in motion

heavyweight windstorm powerwalks expose stubborn tears
picnic table graffiti nothingness removes the veil 
spinning clock lifestyle shows an age rapidly receding 
when the triple layers plastic bag is at its full capacity, rock bottom feels like exactly what it is....rock bottom....
