The World Tipped And I Fell Off Poem by Noah Body

The World Tipped And I Fell Off



Flipping and spinning and whirling
Into the cold, empty vastness of space
Where, desperate, I hooked a moon beam
Threw a leg over and climbed aboard
Grasping tightly I mastered it
Turned it to my own designs
Together we headed outward
Onward to the stars
Perchance to pause at Pluto
Dad always said we were from Pluto
Maybe family awaited a reunion
Even though it's no longer a planet
But the maelstrom stuck out a tentacle
And snatched me right off my moon beam
Dragging me into the storm
I was buffeted and beaten
Tossed about like flotsam in the rapids
Gale force winds tore at me
Mad currents took me as slave
To do with what they will
Jaggedly sharp streaks of lightning
Cracked and shattered it all
Vicious flames of hell scorched my soul
While storm lashed downpours soaked my flesh
East, West, North, South
Up, down, left, right
Lost all meaning, time lost all meaning
Reality lost all meaning
As all descended into utter chaos
And seconds, minutes, years, eons later
I was regurgitated into a strange, new universe
One I no longer recognize
No wonder I feel out of place
I am an alien here... this is NOT my world
Nor is it my universe
