Droom Sugar Crash
the speed of life
slows to a crawl
weak and whispered speech
turns to drone
feel myself drop
a thousand feet
the lowest place I’ve ever been
the ground beneath our feet is sinking
at least it feels that way
choking on some shortened breaths
gasping for words to say
as bloodflow slows and stalls again
neurotoxin numbness settles in
taste the sugar crash
and take a look
at the still sky
as it falls
as it falls…
