Poem 2: Pour


My mouth whispers a stream of consciousness into a paper bag
and I take two breaths:

One shallow
One deep

and the prolonged exhale creates a twister
whose force spins the thoughts at a rate
my hands cannot capture.

The bag bursts from the unrelenting
gusts
Those quiet thoughts 
amplify as they
shoot into the atmosphere
like cannon fire

and all I can do is watch the 
unintentional fireworks
put on a good show
for an audience unaware
of the spectacle
that pours down 
like a sudden summer rain
upon their unsuspecting heads
