non-eqilibrium
funny how frightening
non-equilibrium engenders me
leaning toward walls
with each step
bumping into walls
to keep from falling
walking along
and suddenly veering
standing stock still
knowing i need to be down
but refusing to collapse
having already broken a rib
falling hard
even funnier
that it’s been my mind
that’s defined me all my life
and now my head
that’s going to kill me
