QUANTUM LEAP

so many feelings roused inside

whirling twirling

from a steady stimuli

warm currents of soul

lifting us into cerebrum stratosphere

to the heartbeat of a third eye

liquefied into 20/20 foresight

those ever sleepless externals

spinning this top of flesh and mind

to blow up bridges

with the slightest of glances

only to build new ones

in half as much time

we stretch our arms out

and begin to rotate

tight as an elastic band

suddenly unwound

held in equilibrium by a single finger

words fly off us in all directions

with every rotation

to gain new understanding

expression…strength

only now realizing

the purity of this hybrid

animal…work of art we’ve become

and in wonderment ask ourselves

how in the past

could have been so blind
