I'm an up-down
Side spiral
Simmering-eyed
Projectile
Arcing over windblown
heads
reroute their gaze
to watch my ship
stream by
And I
Can celebrate and reminisce
with the best
of them
But sometimes I'm
Repressed
A vigilante
Princess
to my
bliss
and I sport a
winsome
downturned mouth and
the
prison
of my psyche
simply knows the
worst
in me
but then five clock-ticks later
I am back
to being
a bubbly
hopping
barely-containing
carrier of
energy
it's like the downfall
never happened
been cleansed from
memory
