Explosions do not necessarily have
to be made from TNT.
Household chemicals mixed can effectively blast a two-inch hole in a tiled
floor

Never claimed to walk on
water or fly
But sometimes people think this and I must wait for the moment to pass
So my fear can subside

Once thought I was coming
undone
The buttons opened one by one with clumsy hands
But I slapped him hard and ran.
**
I slip sometimes in conversation
I crack and let the earthworms out
To watch the shock harden on faces
**
I let a man into my mind
once
To roam and inspect the bricbracked shelves
But when he pried open a closet I knew he was not the one to see
So I shoved him in the crawlspace and left him to suffocate
**
I pass out when I know I
shouldn't
Just get so exhausted
I'd rather descend into disquieted oblivion
Than float.

Was held to a chest with
mutton arms.
And knowing, I kissed his face but knowledge did not stop my hurt
when within my arms he shuddered

Once the hole is created
it must be understood
This is essential for too much movement
and what was once a controlled situation can become disastrous.
