Being Alive

The 5 Senses

By Andrew GrantPublished 3 years ago • Updated 3 years ago • 1 min read

Being alive

The 5 senses touching the world

the ordinary mysteries of marriage

a stream of consciousness thinking out loud

~~~~~

a steam engine in the sky

soaring through marshmallow clouds

~~~~~

A driver,

the conductor,

a seat in first chair

~~~~~

the first teacher

the field trip

a sweet tooth for red lips

a room dim lit,

~~~~~

the memory of smell

bluffing the king, infidel

~~~~~

bonded,

for the first time

~~~~~

first stop, my eyes, second my tongue,

Salty tears taste spicy hearing the lies

~~~~~

departing the ears, the mouth, the skin

~~~~~

Next stop her heart

distant Ambivalent

~~~~~

and Last stop my mind

where truth hides

surreal poetry
