Stop the Flow
By JFarrell
I opened the vessel
And so much came out
I was overwhelmed and swept away
Giddy, dizzy
Dropped on the floor
Panting, gasping for breath
I had no idea
So much was there
And I didn’t imagine it could hurt anyone
I didn’t stop to think
How others might feel
And I am sorry for that.
I don’t want to slop the flow
But, maybe, I can shape it into something nicer
More pleasant to experience
With no chance of anyone getting hurt
Magicians and butterflies
Clouds and stars
Brighter futures
