Slow Swimming Between the Ice Cubes

Feet up where fat toes recline
defying gravity,
it's not 'happy hour' nor sad time,
it's just time.

The world has been over-thinking
again,
forgetting its fictional place
in the self-replicating
mind-maze.

There is no escape,
I'm just relaxing between
the tracks.
This laced numbness will quickly pass,
yet ice cubes do break through
all the dream chasing

for a while.

I'm not checked out,
not checked in,
just drinking.
