Negative Space
6-9-17


30-Day Image Prompt.


The drama in the air has gone from
concerning to normal.
The void is now the now,
and we're all dying to float;
         dying to try.

The middle ground is gone;
it evaporated into
feelings attaching
         to the tops of bottoms
         and bottoms of tops.
The side you're on
is the one that was chosen for you.

I guess this is where we live now.
It went
from the way there
         into the way.
We're never building a new one;
we're always adding on.
Normalization of the negative space
has sucked the air out of you
and you're dying to float,
         or at least you're
         dying to try.
