Things are changing.
X is flourishing like an aroused blossom on moist rust.
Y is pecking on the cover of airtight daydreams with heaving busts.
Z is pursuing refugee mermaids to gratify his wanton lust.
Everyone is happy. Moving.
Fast-
like the rotator blades seething on helicopter heads
and old-fashioned windmill churning on earth edges.
Everyone is running. Chasing.
But I am steady like a still clock thrust in time conundrum
stuck with a sticky glue on concrete drool
stagnant like a still eel in a revolving whirlpool.
I am jealous. I want to tilt, to the sunshine
gravitate towards factory made castles, in bowline.
Dislocate. Relocate.
It doesn’t matter.
I just want to budge-
evanesce stickums without smudge.
Shift. Yield.
Preferably to top.
Upshot.

This brought me back to one of my literature classes as a freshman then, when imagery was not as popular as symbolism as a literary device. And here you are ‘crushing’ it so good. This has to be the first time I left a comment ever on wordpress! You had managed to generate a response from me as a ‘passerby’ as your piece filled with a delightful use of figurative speech & imagery is just overall impressive. More than that, it hit close to home. It’s 4am andI am waiting for something to make sense & your piece is it. Glad you first popped up on my notifications! I wouldn’t have discovered you. Writing to you most likely from across the world, letting you know how your every word here tugged at my heartstrings. Thank you.

I do NOT know how I missed this one. This simply fantastic. I can’t imagine anyone who reads this not thinking “I’d like to hang out with the person who wrote this; that person’s perspective has to make her ever so enjoyable to be around.” Truly a unique way of looking at things here, and what wonderful play with the language. And just think, you got to have all the fun evident here, and it didn’t cost you a penny. Sometimes the ledgers balance well. Kudos.
