Withdrawn Into a Black Hole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
