have you ever got carried away with a metaphor until you don't know
what's real?
have you ever been distracted until you fall over in your seat
giggling
and say "i can't remember what i was saying"
because the metaphor
of drowning
is the same as burning, the same choking feeling that slides down my
throat
until i have to stop it before it reaches my heart
and the water must be alcohol
because i know i
can drown and burn
in two inches of paper poems.
