State of Flux

Driving down Dizzy Street
I took a turn for the worse

Navigated right off the damn map
to a far out place
I could not comprehend  
    
The road sign was spinning rapidly
making the blur of words
impossible to read
 
So I started rotating myself
with equal velocity
for some much needed
parallel perspective

Only then could I understand                                
the meaning
of the formerly
muddled message
“WELCOME TO DISORIENTED”

Now I knew exactly 
where I was
and more importantly
how to navigate back
to the place
from whence I came

All I had to do to rectify
my untenable situation
was to apply
the physics of perspective
and angular velocity
to achieve the desired
perceptual stabilizing effect

Or I could just keep drinking
til I pass out
