A Lifetime of MaybesA Poem by Little BirdieI have eyes that start spinning when eyelids are closed.
A lifetime of maybes.
In my head I have swarming, a lifetime of maybes, a weighed supply that doesn't run out as you delve deeper into the sunset. I am rich with a lifetime of maybes. A pool coloured green, a past under stadium spotlights, a thought mounted on four horses and marched each to its corner of the world. I have eyes that start spinning when eyelids are closed, a lifetime of maybes flashing like a motion picture freeze frame in slow motion, backwards, different plot with each new watching, rawer wounds with each new scratching, choking heaving when woken up too early and ushered in front of the same TV, in the same dark room, playing a lifetime of maybes on restless repeat. © 2016 Little BirdieReviews
