You can reach the next level
if you just
do this first
I'm on the same level,
as you
"we're on the same level"
"What level are you on?"
enter elevator, push level 7
"The picture is hanging crooked"
"Ill get the leveler out"
Perfect.
If there is such thing as a hell
I would imagine it would be painted white
and it would be made of aluminum
and Dora (from Dora the Explorer) and her
friend's voices would echo throughout
the vast, cold empty rooms
lit so unnaturally
by rows upon rows of fluorescent lighting.
I was determined to make it
what other choice was there?
I could see land
I could see the smokey mound,
sticking out of the water
far, far away.
There was something to swim to.
There wasn't - nothing.
There was something.
The mound of earth became my goal.
All my attention I kept on it.
When I was scared of the sharks,
I just re-focused my energy on the land,
on hope.
How I wished I could have walked
the 17 miles
but instead,
I (we) swam it
in 26 hours.
We survived.
There is a saying,
"Dance like no one is watching"
I wish it said,
"Dance like everyone is watching"
The idea of having an audience is an aversion to some
but just the opposite for others.

Oh heels,
The relationship I have had with you.
The pain
and, oh
the attention you have brought me -
and the old Russian women had warned me
not to wear them too high
or too tight -
if I cared about the future comfort of my body
(specifically my back)
I have wandered across the world
over many years
searching for what I have finally found...
Contentment, in standing still.
She held one in her hand
and from it
sparkles flew
and flashes flashed
and ribbons curled to and fro
as she danced
while wearing her plastic crown
and her mothers necklaces and high heels
I have often wondered what it would be like to ride
in a blimp.
Yes,
More than once,
I have pondered this idea.
Waists resist
hair mangles
legs twist
Arms dangle
Thoughts mix
Dreams wrangle
The rhythm moves
To to Tango
Oh, oh
Not the Tango?
Oh, oh
the word is Tangle...
