Architecture

Each cloud wants to be a storm 
My tap water wants to be a river 
Each match wants to be an explosive 
Each reflection wants to be real 
Each joker wants to be a comedian 
Each breeze wants to be a hurricane 
Each drizzled rain wants to be torrential 
Each laugh from the throat wants to burst from the belly 
Each yawn wants to hug the sky 
Each kiss wants to penetrate 
Each handshake wants to be a warm embrace
Don’t you see how close we are to crashes and confusion, 
Tempests and terror, Mayhem and madness, and All things out of control

Each melting Icecube wants to be a glazier
Each wave wants to be the smooth stroke of a forehead 
Each cry wants to be a scream 
Each carefully pressed suit wants to be creased 
Each midnight frost wants to be a snow drift 
Each mother wants to be a friend 
Each night time wants to strangle the day 
Each wave wants to be tidal 
Each subtext wants to be a title 
Each winter wants to be the big freeze 
Each summer wants to be a drought 
Each polite disagreement wants to be a vicious denial 
Each diplomatic smile wants to be a one fingered tribute to tact 
Don’t you see how close we are to crashes and confusion, 
Tempests and terror, Mayhem and madness, and All things out of control 
Keep telling yourself. 
You’ve got it covered.
