off

I am not all up in my head today

I’m somewhere near my chin

And everything is off

I am not all up in my head today

Not filling out the space

My cranial home

I am not all up in my head today

I’m a little further south

And my clothes fit badly

I am not all up in my head today

And I cannot float my ribs

My disks grind each other

I am not all up in my head today

My organs churn away

But don’t talk

I am not all up in my head today

My reaction time is slow

And my hips are in the way

I am not all up in my head today

My eyes blink

Swollen flowers

I am not all up in my head today

My cats look past me

As I pass by

I am not all up in my head today
