I Can't Move

I can't move
Perching on the edge
Of
the desk
Like a precipice
Between life and
death
A thin, inconsequential line
I stare into the
white, and the black
And cannot choose
Feeling only
the wind
Neither hot nor cold
Or perhaps both, at the
same time
I cannot stay
Nor can I leave
I
sit, paralyzed, at the desk
In limbo, like an
afterthought
A cosmic typo
Half correct but still
grating
Liking and disliking
Both flesh and
bone
The frontier
Of night and day
Is a
deep furrow
And what is true now
Will be untrue
tomorrow
And Vice Versa
For some relief
I
uttered the words
And closed my eyes
For kick
or caress
But no movement came
And hideous
morning
Stands unchallenged still
Love is
destruction
And misery is hope
These life
motors
I cannot control
I can't move,
crushed
Between whisper and bellow
I can't be
alone
But I can't be too
close
