What is it
that you do
when they pull
the ladder out
from under you
But you
don't go
Thunk
like a fallen drunk
Instead
you start gloating
because you are
sky floating
Above the earth
you are on wings
seeing many things
From yesterday
and the yesterdays
before
Each one opens
another door
Not because you died
despite how hard
you tried
Not because they're alive
and all that
lost family jive
Then
what do you know
you're quoting
This time
—without need
for correction—
He said
IMAGINATION IS
INTELLIGENCE
WITH AN ERECTION
