The end of 26A Poem by Monica Taylor
One glass.
Three. Seven too many. Four steps. Fall. Feeling small. Can't count to ten. Can't say when I'll be home again. Long told tales of Big city dreams. I don't know what they mean. Forgotten footprints Of clouded progress And untold knowledge. Same as always. I feel lost. Can't seem to grasp a thought. But I'm solid as ever. I'm incredibly clever. Just lacking my own place To rest for a second. Without feeling anxious. I can see to ten But I can't count. Words and numbers blur. Plans and goals slur Together like music And delicately broken phrases. Like a day in fall Of street likes and sound. Visualizing and hearing Without the ability to steer. I'm floating. Not falling. © 2018 Monica Taylor |
