If I was free and not conscious of me
I’d be hopping around like a frog in a fit
over the many burst bubbles of love
on the sidewalk of my intuitive feel.  

It’s the concrete, you see, taller, taller, than trees
that neither erects nor shows how to effect
a gentle run-off for emotional strife
born and bred into this work-a-day world
by unrequited love.

Burst bubbles of love never repair
because needle and thread of many new things
no effective and efficient tool
for the sewing of nonchalance
into the seams of despondency.

Calls to the wild, the beautiful sky,
and to the creator of dreams
fall silent within where fear manifests
because I’m not yet entitled to know
who drops the bubbles on my sidewalk
with such disregard for my soul!

"I’d be hopping around like a frog in a fit"

Excellent write.
But that line, I love that line.
Can I borrow it??

Enjoyed.

JL - That line actually comes from a dream and in that dream it was a "woman in a fit" but as dreams aren't supposed to be real, you may certainly borrow it.  Thanks so much for the read.

LOL, you should see the scene I'm visualizing right now after reading this.
Love your sensibilities POV.
