this beat in my bones
is just vibrato strummed
to syncopate
with rattlesnake precision
the pulse under my voice
nothing like strength, just
neurotransmitted lightning
struck synapse to synapse
in flashes behind eyes
some call brilliance
but really random hits
streamed through plain physics
simple polarity
predictable
but surprising
how energy
yearns for & meets
its opposite
I can almost feel the coffee buzz!
Oh, yes–I am bubbling away over here…
My hyper yesterday.
Nice to see you writing so exactly about it.
Haha–it is why I am up way too late, tending to the blog.
Opposites attract … and you have proved the law through your words
you wrote this just for me…hahaha. my buzz is on now as i am off to work in a few. have a great day susan:)
I find it helps to drown the buzz with some scotch or whiskey until you get the right balance exactly. I hope you were able to sleep…
oh, yes–I crashed and burned…
Live hard, I say.
Rattlesnake precision, ruh roh.
Matter meets antimatter, another ruh roh. Maybe that’s my problem.
Been there done that. Tee! Hee!
I love the alliteration and sounds here – and the clear points we all recognise from caffeine highs – Someone pass me my TEA! A fake strength indeed. Great Susan. X
‘rattlesnake precision’ nice one. This is a line I am going to use, online and off it.
Aw, Celestine–feel free!
