upside down

breaking from the pack
with an explosion
opening up doors that never
existed until now
then he woke up
and someone said
from now on
off the rope he balanced on
high above the busy street
leads to nowhere
he can recognize a few
none of the words
seem to matter
no one understands
seeing into eyes
out of his mind
no one is paying any attention
ashes fall between pages
and the lights suddenly dim
every night at this time
apparently he wants too much
someone should probably
flip him upside down…
