unprepared to die
pushing the envelope
what better way to spend a life
tearing down
and building back up
testing the very fabric of
body & mind
stretching & tearing & repairing
how is it a black ant
becomes its own surgeon
after being left for dead
how is it a black cat
flouts the impossible
falling down thirty stories
changing is all that’s left
matters not in the longer run
hurlting stones
into outer space
likely not returning to earth
much like your mind
unleashed & uncontrolled
january two thousand twenty-one
