on top


life

will constantly

pull at the seams

trying to

break you

and it does

some.

every time

you feel

a tear

you have to

sew it

back together

by replenishing

your soul.

make

the opposition

quiver.

write a poem.

read a book.

dance

and make love.

snort a line

of the sun.

burst thru

the fire

like a

bowling ball.

jump on

the opposition

like a trampoline

and swing

from the stars

like monkey bars

to inform life

that you

are on top.

give life

a swift kick

in the balls

and laugh 

at it

keeled over.
