[ Born In The Water Lungs Functioning In Place Of Gills ] Poem by Kyle Schlicher

[ Born In The Water Lungs Functioning In Place Of Gills ]



born in the water
lungs functioning in place
of gills for the first time,
a unique step in a sequence
belonging with the breast stroke.

the brain on high energy
wave length, a
burning
output
with proper
prestige accorded to one of higher rank.

walking on the bottom
of the earth
beneath
so much pressure
the blood boils
warming to hot
starred-hot
into a
torrid
bubbling
in arteries
pulverizing the white cells
into believing
all is right with the body;
full force applied-
colliding with a wall of water
the shore is viewable
within crawling distance to the
forbidden area
within the continuous orbiting
expanse of gray murkiness
un-til
a
unified
separation
of species
according
to
size has been achieved.

absence
star
star

amplitude
is
the
reborn
star
an
unimagive
compass
without
a direction to choose

Freedom from the control 12 letters mystic words
lead us to the undeniable realization
of
why not?

the indirect direction is chosen.

a probabilistic reliable source
of unapplied knowledge

it will come closer.

the shadows linger, 
shilly-shally, you land lubber,
just long enough
to breathe new life
(View the pronunciation for working life)
 
into
an
old decaying body
needing
a human soul transplant
within the time limit allotted.

or
to return to the gray murkiness
