you can be hypnotized
by the flow of a river
and shocked right out of it
by the crash of a
door.
you can be so fully you
and slammed right out of you
so hard that you don't remember
you anymore.
pinball prongs poking
your hips and your ribs
you don't want to hit
any more points
you just want to fall
straight through.
losing is ok if you finally
get to rest.
you'll be better but never the same
as you were before.
open the door.
