After a
God damn distance!
Hurl a mountain into the sun.
Swallow the sea.
Turn the earth inside out.
Stomp on clouds!
Kick the planets out of orbit -
Do SOMETHING!
Be cool, fool!
Smile, converse, concentrate.
Debit: credit:
Add a splurge of madness;
Subtract a little loyalty.
Balance the impossible.
Happiness is equilibrium?

I'm like Joan - no experience, but is happiness really no more than equilibrium.
'Subtract a little loyalty'
To whom?
Thanks for making me think, Cynthia

I've never had a holiday affair - but I guess it might feel just as you describe. Coming down to earth after being on such a high would be a difficult balancing act, especially if loyalty has been compromised.
I like this Cynthia. You've managed in just 14 lines to give an impression of someone having 14 thousand thoughts and feeling, which all feed into a state of agonised tension, remembrance and longing. I liked your previous one too - sorry I didn't comment. Thanks for yours on mine (not autobiographical)
