Missed Connections in Brooklyn, NY
Bliss
Bliss
Like a meteor shower
dancing down
my drain
i stay inside and
watch it rain
all purple haze and
shimmering film
and the blue light from the television
watches me as
i watch it
the commercials created our desires
then packaged our dreams
and trademarked the
empty places we
tried to fill
it begins to rain harder
and i can see
the volcanic
dust
and it’s july 17, 2017
on a wednesday
at 11:00 pm
as i lie here stuck in between
yesterday and
tomorrow
in this combustible
bliss
Note from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle Finder: My favorite line is “as i lie here stuck in between yesterday and tomorrow in this combustible bliss.” I think it’s the combination of the words combustible and bliss – two contradictory sensations that work great together.
