Crawl
In the darkness, ideas presented themselves like snowy white snakes
Slithering out of the brain
And onto the floor
They formed elaborate curls upon the blackest black ground
Spelling out discovery
And hissing out trepidation
I am cross-legged
On the floor
The snakes crawl
Round and round my limbs
As they twine gently
Ever upward
I become one of them
A creature of idea
A creature of no reality
I crawl
On my milky belly
Looking
For the next silver form
In the distance
I crawl
Into the darkness
In an instant, I become
A creature of consequence
A creature with no consequences
Blinding white
On the blackest black floor
