Drowning On Dry Land.A Poem by Chloe Madison Taylor.I'm only poisoning this situation.It's still raining so send the sidewalk out to find me fading faster than my jeans. The bleeding asphalt never complains, so I stay here. glazing over. relentlessly wearing out your name.
Watching my ideas dance from my ears and twirl with dust particles in front of blinding flood lights. I cannot write, I have no time for decent plot development.
I spent too much time swimming on your living room floor Drowning on dry land Clinging to empty bottles of liqour.
Just admit we have nowhere to go.
Give me a little friction to slow me down breathing out of habit and speaking out of turn sleeping off headaches letting my vision blur.
Illuminated by the same repeating chord dragging my cliche inspiration through metaphors don't blame the rainstorms. This is my fault.
I am only poisoning this situation too happy to hear the same old lament I cannot write, I have no time for decent plot development. © 2009 Chloe Madison Taylor.Author's Note
