system crash

my system cracked

tiny particles suspended in the air

light change

from blue to red

from green to orange

as if the rainbow was flooded

with the wrong words

I think I have to let it go

I was pushed back and forth

so many times

now I need to rest

drink tea, eat cake, and watch a movie

forget this atrocity

get rid of this icky incident in my head

cover my tracks

with the appropriate amount

of smooth surfaces

shining on my soul

and allowing me to let go

these lights like on the ship

standing here stranded in a shallow sea

like mud

it is the only substance

worth noting here

where it happens in abundance

faced with insufficiency

of illustrating it
