fall through crevices of my cortex 
onto Pegasus while I reflect
as a knot unties my mind 

peals of thunder
drop ideas up under 
repelling counter-clockwise in time

they fall, splash and scuttle 
into Polaroids of puddles
forcing flashbacks to ripple

of Halloween costumes 
and Saturday morning cartoons
when the world was so simple 

celebrating kickball home runs
and no chrome guns 
when we rumbled

no courtrooms or attorneys 
zooming on a journey 
through bicycle jungle

guzzling freeze pops
our bliss rustling tree tops
floating in foot races 

conspire how to survive
Michael Meyers alive
ignorance wrote across our faces

scribbled on the rafters
where I keep chapters
of a childhood
 
above the lab in
my mental cabin 
pages stack like piled wood...
