the dance

contrast is debilitating,
moments gone awry,
due to unfortunate
Freudian
processes

buckled up for the ride
giggly
giddy
and spry

air thickens
breathing labored
you remember
lit fireworks don't just sit there

scientific laws break
byproduct: a hardened shell
a hardened shell that ceases to break
rearing its ugly head
on a Friday night
when the only thing keeping you company
is a curvaceous bottle and a piece of lit
asthma
and your best friend sits
adjacent. watching.

contrast is debilitating,
moments gone awry,
due to unfortunate
Freudian
processes

they said it would happen
as it has all along
the pressure
the building stifled strife
you never listened

wound up, sitting.
contemplating.
creating a contrast in your mind
that is of a debilitating situation,
made of moments gone awry
due to unfortunate
Freudian
processes
