His brain
Ticks over
A waterfall
Of emotions
In a crumpled suit
Knowing this
And that
And the other
Without having
Any idea
Which way
Is up
He pulls
The plug
Empties the sink
Drains the dregs
And the loose leaves
Of his table
This is
No way to be
He thinks
As he
Performs
The ever tumbling
Somersaults
That his life
Forces him into
Though the acrobats
Thigh high
In
Electricity
Tumble twistedly
By will
Or high voltage
They tried to
Build their boats
Heed the warning
Avoid the flood
They just didn't realise
The sea was
On fire
And to swim
And drown
And burn
All at the same
Time
Was never
High on the agenda
No matter how far
They stretched
The lines
Of sanity
By which
They governed
Their ruined
Beliefs
Long before
Any one of them
Had really
Ever started
Thinking
About
Living

I really like this one - great opening image - A waterfall of emotions in a crumpled suit - and the rest, great!
