(UNTITLED)









Sometimes I get dragged down in the undertow of my emotions.
I get knocked by the weight of waves and hit my head on rocks.
Sometimes the waves of my emotions are so powerful I can't breathe
and I lose consciousness.
And sometimes my emotions wash me up on the shore of an exotic island.
Inhabited by beautiful people unsullied by western civilization.
Where I can survive on tropical fruits and the nourishment of the ocean breeze.
Where I can roam half-naked and unfettered by bills and concrete.
I like when my emotions do that.
