Kaleng

My whole body feels hollow

Like a gutted out submarine

Floating along a shoreline of normal it cannot touch

I want to be grounded again

Want to feel my legs

My feet on grity sand

Rocks weighing in my hand

To sense the gravity

To pump some muscle

But I am an empty can

And the vaccume zaps my mental energy

And so my eyes glaze over again

If I were in a tree, I'd fall like a drop bear

Fortunately, I am in a safer place

For now
