With the Sea Swells and Ne'er Do Wells; Letting Down is a LifestyleA Poem by Matt ChevalierI believe I have misplaced my body I think I'm only a mind now A Freudian Thing One Who knows Itself But isn't Itself Transcending Something that isn't a Something -Wishes seem Stretched- Distance distancedistancedistance that's the key here I'm separate from myself as I feel My legs no more. I'm a mind with arms Though maybe not for too long; My Fingers will go first, Starting from the top Being taken By the wind . I'll makemakemake it is along the lines of what I'll say; Pulling a Body together is beyond anything right now. being here being here being soft being- a like the likes of which were never seen by human eyes. I'm spitting nowords now Antiwords- One's that fold meaning into themselves and take and take and take and take until there is nothing more to give. Let Me Want. Let me not be wanted, So I can stay my mind-almost-arms-me Almost-mind; maybe in another voice in another time. If this wasn't so I wouldn't know what "so" means There's a spot on the earth for me to stand I'm not sure where it lies . . . . . . .
