dim lights and bloodshot eyes
pupils that consume light
and i'm not slowing down


ordered in single file
enough to last a while

and i'm not coming down

while the rooms still spinning

the rooms still spinning
the rooms still spinning around
the rooms still spinning

the rooms still spinning
no signs of it slowing down
down

down
down
down

down

suspense and bated breath

enough to last unless
i start $#&@ing around


snowflakes in summer time
drink water instead of wine
my dry mouth


its like electricity
currents flowing through me

and i need to be grounded

when this heart stops beating

nerve endings stop meeting
and i'll be laid out on the landing
