With many thanks to Justine Zaritsky for inspiring me again...
Lashed by the exquiste frozen whips of January rain
I embark on my routine route march
From the fragile womb of licenced Valhalla
I venture into the semi known,
Strands and clumps
Of rapidly decaying monochrome candy floss
Tease my vocabulary
On their respective levels,
The very essence of the elements
Elevate my soul
Into a state of ecstacy,
Unpredictable invisible forces
Pummel my clothing,
Pressure and vacuum alternately
Deliver a sense of ubiety,
I subliminally latch on
To the natural power,
Ethanolic enhancement of
The physicality,
Forces beyond my control
Against the forcible entity,
Euphoria overrides reality.
