you feel everything.
There is no substance to be ingested
to elevate or subdue
the rising tide within
the heart and mind
Simply an OS and the body
I miss the excess
and the feeling
of artificial light
raging through me-
pushing me through
darkness and light alike
I run unassisted
except for those I lean on
when I feel the brakes
doing their work
I am still learning
to be myself again
in a new place
that might as well be
a continent never seen by man
I change my mind-
I don't miss the excess
