Today I defined
"up" as "down",
and as the world spun around my fingertips
I saw the natural incline
of our inner-earth
slanted towards the ground.
I daresay
we not defy
the gravity of our situation,
crawl against force-grains
simply to rugburn
for sake of a painful sensation.
I'll harness reality --
craft dreams
from the dirt..
put fantaspoons down
and leave sky cream unstirred
where it belongs -
as cloud puffs
illuminating
cobblestone trails.
You could,
with feathers,
fly high
and rake the unattainably mine -
Or
with hands,
grab hold
of the things I have laid out already --
my humbler rhymes...
On solid blocks,
I ask the fundamental --
Given the option,
Would you trade your arms for wings?
