Sidestepping Stupor (Free verse) by PsydewaysTears
Perhaps to exist
is to wonder,
and to wonderâ
exist.
I stretched my brain
and snapped it in two...
A prominent emptiness lingered underneath.
Perhaps to exist
is to feel,
and to feelâ
exist.
I grasped my heart
and wrung it through my fingers...
Its slimy residue evaporated in the wind.
I stepped nakedly
out from the shower of distilled thought
and graciously handed myself a towel.
I wrote my wonderings
onto murdered flesh,
read them aloud,
and swallowed them whole.
Satisfaction gurgled in my gut
as I digested salty moments
of unbearability.
And an ogre named Reason
sank into the depths of my closet
to remain locked away until further noticeâ
or until the end of time.
