Balloon

class in 7 minutes
i don't want to be there
i don't want to be here
where can i go?

what good would it do
to change things?
what makes shaken
better than stirred?

gradual change
is no change at all.
upward mobility is nothing
if i've got to take the stairs.

words are irrelevant
if they're foreign
legibility and comprehensibility
does not eliminate reprehensibility.

i do not
lack passion
i love, a little, sometimes
but never enough.

the love that flows in
is never matched by the flow out
and i will explode
i need an outlet.

popping a balloon
makes lots of sound
and destroys the form
yet disperses the pressure

Ostrich

Too afraid to stand and fight; Too much pride to fly away. Cowardice: immobilize Egos lacking skill to play! Games of conflict can’t be played By those afraid to deal a hand. Flightless birds avoid their call Ostriching heads in the sand.  Thanks, Trifecta for the prompt, which requested an animal name be used as a verb. I figured I might as well ignore the dictionary and make my own...flightless birds have always intrigued me, anyhow.
