The Slipperiest Substance Of All Poem by Raj Dronamraju

Skidding wildly, falling down
Locked in motion, a terrible sound
The sound of indecision
The sound of rejection

Flailing uncontrollably, nothing to hold on to
Clumsy airborne, helpless like gravity
I'm not sure what is coming next
It would be best to stay on your back for awhile

For what I stepped in
Rolled into at full speed
Is that which can't be stood on firmly
Comes between ground and spirit

For what I feel for you
It undulates and moves forward then retreats back into itself
This is cold and real and goes right through your grasp

Slippery until time and commitment pour sand on us
So young and so low and assigning no liability for the many slip and falls we take









Skidding wildly, falling down
Locked in motion, a terrible sound
The sound of indecision
The sound of rejection

Flailing uncontrollably, nothing to hold on to
Clumsy airborne, helpless like gravity
I'm not sure what is coming next
It would be best to stay on your back for awhile

For what I stepped in
Rolled into at full speed
Is that which can't be stood on firmly
Comes between ground and spirit

For what I feel for you
It undulates and moves forward then retreats back into itself
This is cold and real and goes right through your grasp

Slippery until time and commitment pour sand on us
So young and so low and assigning no liability for the many slip and falls we take
