138.

like how I can go from watching the ceiling, the Christmas lights
lining the upper corners of my room and imagining
them as floor lights on an upside-down stage
and I am dancing on it
and ten minutes later I am upright and crumpled down
crying into my knees and hanging like a bat from the carpet

things tend to flip around on me that way
breathing in right-side-up and 
falling off the ground on the exhale

I'm tempted to just stop trying
to stand on my own
