11:08 pm Thoughts
Swimming vocabulary
Urge but no execution
Disoriented because
it is late
it is
11:11 Thoughts
Mentally drained but I
still have the capability
still have the stability
to reflect
from Grand Canyon to the Lone Star
Shifting states
of minds
and new colors
and finds
empty glass, empty glass
no more water left
19 something lines and
I am still a mess

SR, that is awesome! I did the reverse state shift, from the Lone Star to the Grand Canyon. I read your other poems as well, and...wow...just wow. You write beyond your years. Tell your mom hi, from (one of) her favorite student, CG.
Moving states comes with its own challenges. With time, one will overcome the difficulties, no matter how strenous.
