A Poem
give me a feeling
that I can feel
what are the side effects
of this era
of chasing the screen
and panic abater
push back harder
against my cold shoulder
this manic elixir
that keeps me drawn further
beneath what could cut
my willingness to bleed
give me something
worth worrying about
but don’t
because running
will lapse
all the spinning
I’ve been here before
on the brink of inspiration
but I may have shrunk this year
and it’s on the top shelf
not even partnership
can reach
give me a heartbeat
worth swooning about
let’s run ourselves wild
the edge of getting caught
enough to keep us
awake all night
