It’s all happening so fast –
Like teacups and bears, like monkeys and strawberries –
Too fast.
Scrambled; like eggs, or brains, or television transmissions.
She feels so inadequate
So young, and childish, and naïve, and scared.
Pulses escalate: the beeping on the monitor is so rapid.
Call her chicken
Bawk-bawk here, bawk-bawk there…
She just can’t change the way she is.
Here a bawk, there a bawk…
Is she better or worse when she is alone?
A.
L.
O.
N.
E
(i. e. i. o. Everywhere a bawk-bawk!)
She did nothing wrong, yet there is guilt.
It’s building up within her chest – struggling against
The affection she’s stored there.
Overwhelmed, or underwhelmed?
Over? Under? Over? Under?
Rain and thunder.
Like tears and heartbeats – salty and faded.
Don’t take more than she is ready to give, my boy.
She’s still healing out the stitches;
Repairing the freshest scars –
Something to always remember you by.
We all love, in time
Like marching bands and synchronized swimmers.
Just pray she doesn’t drown, first.

Interesting work! Perhaps a little more abstract than I like, but vivid not one bit the less. Well done.

| It does not seem like a rap. It does not have that hard edge that rap normally has. It is a good write for someone dealing with their heart though. |
