Temperate

You have your own life now
No time to hang out on the couch
When you have a cat waiting
For you at home a new life
That needs you

My body needs me to
Show up for it in a way
So I can relate

Like a transformer
Energy jolting through me
My brain is a conduit and
I can cause my pulse to go

Up and down up and down

There is a stretching in between
Giving in and giving up

Pulled apart in new ways
So that I can care not to be controlled
Even if I activate myself

Obsessed with the intensity
Causerie internal blah blah blah
Twilight calms it all
Down down down

If we push ourselves to feel
We can sense the self growing
Like my cat evolving

Is life a drug?
How can it be
Even when we’re sober

What is sober?

Sober and Alone

She wants only for herself
She wants only for her
She waits only for herself
She waits only for her
Nothing left
Nothing left
Bouncing off
The hopeless hap
The helpless gap
The hapless crap
She wants only for herself
I don’t believe that
It can’t be true
I need a smoke
I need a drink
I need more time to think
But I prefer to do it
Sober and alone
With a piano
Passed out drunk
On the floor
Intoxicated only
By the music
Of my deafening heartbeat
