State of Place

(Read it aloud):

I am fluid
Drunk from a cup
Held in the hands of a druid
Fresh breath you drew in
I, the tension
In cupids bow
Am the penetration
Struck your heart
The projectile point that flew right threw it

I am fluid
I am,
I
Flow with
Tear drops
Drip in a moment of grace
Drift, evaporate, its how I levitate
Slit through mountains like a glacier
I am fluid even when frozen

I am coastin, shwishhhhh….(basketball sound)
Times two it… swishhhhh
Slip through fish net
Sip
A rogue wine in the crystal you are holdin
I am

The answer that’s still blowin
In the wind
River mill grinder of grain
A portion of my power contained
In revolution
Let loose in
I am groovin
Ongoin
Turbine turbo boostin
Injected into a vein of social pain
A belt that’s loosened
A forgetten language that’s still spoken
So fluent

I am fluid
A perfect heart beat
Lets loop it, techno muse
I told you
I am fluid
Inconclusive, not reclusive
We are
One and the same so you are included
In this movement
Walls made of granite or made of panic
I cut through it
I am

I am fluid
I am the daily commuted
I wont be muted
Full of music
I am fluid

I am
Fluid
So elusive
More fluid than mountain dew is
Move with
The motion of Nike swoosh is
How I just do it

I am fluid
I grew it
Hydroponic, supersonic
Like Hailey’s comet
But I’m the comet that struck your planet
BOOM
I’m on it
Aloe vera on a wound
I calm it
Fuse it
Shaman chewed it
Chased it with whatever flavor
Wine into water
You choose which

Like an immigrant’s name
Switch
Save you savior
Save your space ship
Shape shift
Every shoe fits
Melt me down and take two hits
Concentrate your juices
I am a constant state of fluid
Compliment your food with
Quench your thirst,
A blues riff
It’s too thick?
Dilute it
Like a 24 hour drive through is
I’m open all life
I am fluid
