Provides warmth

and colour

In a metallic world

of black and white

Making it bearable

Less exposed

Free

Sometimes captured

To feel more human

To have softer edges

To have clarity

Sometimes confusion

Be happier

Content

Filled

Sometimes void

I can talk

I can speak

I can think

Sometimes a cul-de-sac

Unfreezes the boundaries

Sets loose ability

Stalactites dripping

Often regelation

No need for ceremony

Everyone relaxes

Smiles

Sometimes narcolepsy

It’s a different world

A globe of emotion

Sensation

Sometimes centrifugal sickness

No need for one hundred words

if ninety nine will suffice

Kindness for the entire world

 Always drunk.
