(away)

By lost child

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

the taxi comes to take us (away). and there is a valve on the back of my head no my temple the left one and it's a valve like on a great blue balloon. someone's blowing. smooth and steady, the breath is almost sweet. i suspect my head will fill the entire cab in but a moment. but i can feel the seam now where the air escapes and leaves my skull feeling stretched and weighted. i stare at the grey of the ceiling and it feels much further (away) than it is, with much more depth.the last of "progressive insanity". i broke them up because they grated on me.
