He hung the moon, balloon
bursting in my face, no space
in a heart race
for timid lowercase,
attract, don’t chase,
Poise and Grace,
suffocate on faith,
his crumbs emaciate,
the bread doesn’t rise,
he failed to activate,
HoldUpHoldUpWait,
he won’t initiate,
he forgot to equate
in this world I did create,
I already own
the whole damn place.
