i took a reminder
in the form
of a jagged paper square
my chemical-communion-wafer
a molecular-bypass
that jump-gaps my dna
with gods.
{if you havent been
its a quadratic drop that burns a hole in your brain
just-wide-enough,
just-long-enough
for you to feel the electric-storm
of your beat-beating heart;
an eight-hour-eternity
of being just-enough-aware
to feel your body-cells dying
of being just-close-enough-to-dead
to know your amperage-mortality
to relish that static-cloud-dust
barely grasped by nerve-wire-tendons.}
i took a reminder
in the form
of a jagged paper square
bent into cube by my stomach-soul;
time is digested by gravity
and every heartbeat is slower than the last.
i-immobile
but the chemical commutes me
from up here
with dilated pupils
wide-eye-wonder
and finger-tip-numb
i can see-feel everything
eternity
all the little whirlpools
our whisper-lives
and wading-thoughts
have spun into the currents
giving fluid-movement-meaning
to meaningless time.
{and you may not remember
the vibration-electricity
our humming-in-unison,
in-circuit,
hotwired-through-god;
but from miles away
i touch a toe to the current
spin a little whirlpool for you
and shift my weight
just enough
to give-in
fall-in
and plunge stomach-soul-first
into the water.}
