i said she could go visiting…
so my brain
sloppily chopped her exit
and took an early escape
out the car window
bouncing down the highway
careening & skidding
in the rear view
i reeled her in
by tangled tendrils,
electric endangerments
there she sits,
my brain in her track suit -
jostled and jounced,
buzzing and sparking,
grinning up at me
stop it
when i said skip
i meant water
and the take-off and landing
need work
she pinky promises…
next time
and asks me to slow down
for reintegration
