Binary C(orr)ode

in #poetry8 years ago (edited)

"

Swiftly navigating labyrinths

With a shifting equilibrium

Counteracting consequence

With everlasting librium


Communicating character

Through synapses shorted out

Feeding my abacus

Numbers too high to count


The war against gravity

Fought in foxholes of membrane

Clawing at your comfort

With arms like arcade cranes


Tearing up the tarmac

Without clearance for the landing

Sitting in my comfort zone

To appear in good standing 


A poem I wrote for a creative writing course in college a few years ago

Cool man, like your wordplay. Is the "librium" in the first stanza a medication? I didn't know the word so I looked it up and that's what came. Also liked your piano pieces, looking forward to hearing more!

thank you! yes, librium is a medication given to aid withdrawal symptoms from alcohol and drug abuse. hence, why it is used to "counteract consequence".
