Withdrawn Into a Black Hole
It's cozy in empty space
I can move
Without taking ownership
I let the observer bounce and bobble
Instead to battling
Over the right to speak
Its just me
In a black hole
In empty space
The world seems so clear
Just a watery planet
Punctuated with terrain
I forgot
Those things learned in school
I'm a helium balloon
With nowhere to go
The pangs of justice
Have drained from my floor
All the terror and death
Privilege and excuse
Those upright brigades
Of citizenship
To this- I'm scratching my ear
Over here-
I have all the energy I need
Its easier just to be
They say space is lonely
They haven't seen
White petals
Ringing the birth of galaxies
A while back
An old maid
Came to vacuum
The cosmic dust
Said it was untidy
I smiled
As she shuffled her stubby little feet
Some blueprints
Will never change
