Don't wish to alienate
nor to feed disease
what kind of friend would I be
if I didn't strive to trapeze?
Doubly so considering
my own desire to numb and escape.
Oh, what hypocrisy would come
with the dropping mallet...
Yet what of engaging
in all this poisonous indulgence,
this participatory transcendence?
Is it a crutch
for weakened wills,
a kick awake
or assisted suicide
on a slow slide?
Perhaps an act falling up,
perchance a rise down
to blessed simplicity,
tricking gravity.
It's not a way out,
just sort of a trip around,
looking at all this bullshit
from afar.
Just keep an eye on the ground
to return our feet.
Cautious not to get trapped in the belly
of this dissipating cloud.
Just remember this cannot be
the only way to breathe.
Don't make this home.
