Thoughts Like Popcorn

thoughts like popcorn

waiting for enough of the heat that is attention

waiting for room to explode

.

in the middle of an intersection

when the plates’ edges shift

waves of nausea rocking alone

.

’til you let me know

not sick or alone

just sorry and afraid

.

waiting for the moment to come

with you

over a few million years

changes will occur, though small

.

changing the face of this landscape

forever changing, changing the face

of the landscape forever

.

a little messy, but necessary

to understand what I mean

respect what the thought is

.

a decent devotion to words

spending time as it is

gladly given away

.

sending you time

as it is gladly given away
