Space cadet

 Tonight my best friend said 

“No one has adjusted fully 

to a world where they know what they know”

How beautifully put. To me it means
We can handle it, but we feel cramped 
and drawn upon, the world is a vampire and on,

but don’t forget how good it feels to be slow and real
and firm and true and persistently consistent,
how good the gooey stretch is, 
stretching your back, your legs,
your time,

staring at a wall.

To adjust, 
I prove to myself relentlessly
that I am the creator
of the space I lack,
for I lack,
and if I lack,
then there, tada, I have it.
