engine light starts
blushing..

so i shovel more
coal down my
throat

like so much
of nothing,

now i’m braced for utmost
gastric bloat, a need
to fill the
hole..

with something
“weighty,” so..

the body doesn’t
float away..

+++

considering

ballooning brain
feels that
way..

already.

..holding steady.. breath’s a little bubbly,
ok.. coal me down now, old buddy.
