he’s blown away, again, by the lift of a wing
that soars him manically over the Pacific.
speech streams rapid, thoughts gallop,
genes slide him into lunacy
where talent mimics genius,
career shows as brilliant.
he likes it here. it feeds control
until
hostile winds bully personal space;
trigger erratic flight and shutdowns.
mid-air triumph does a nose dive
as the void, again, spirals down.
he shifts from wild to rigid,
helplessly allows unhinged DNA
to resume a spot in his core
until
someone intervenes or medics step in
or the law cozies up to the fray.
only then will he own the chaos,
seek a fix. he goes back to the
meetings, again, begs for help
from that elusive Higher Power
he wishes he had faith in
until
genetics, again, trump stability;
create bursts of mania aimed at
knocking him off course forever!
the sensual assault is orgasmic,
his need to remain intense.
bites of euphoria addict
until
survival, again, jumps into the light
to throw shade on risky behavior
that derail quality of life.
it offers a reliable route to recovery,
supplies a steady spark of hope
when running for solid ground.
