The Laundromat
Location
Turning and spinning
Round and round
We go
Losing sight of
What we love
Most
The water rushes
Past us
Over us
Under us
Suddenly we are
No longer standing
We are on our asses
Flung there by the
Ever flowing water
Up
Down
Up
Down
I am not really
Aware
Anymore
Of where I truly
Am
This strong current
Has taken my feet
From beneath me
What is
Up
Where is
Down
Struggling for air
I spin
Confused
And lost
Only to be tossed
To the heat
The cold water
Was better
It did not
Hurt
The fire burns us
We are still spinning
But now we are hot
No longer wet
I am burning
Surrounded
By you
All of you
Are you burning too
As we spin without
End
Up
Down
Up
Down
I feel sick
This is no
Fun ride
This is death
Cold
Then hot
Drowning
Then on fire
There is no
Safe place
Not even
In your arms
You are hot too
Are you burning
Like me
Endlessly spinning
Losing you
I am lost.
Turning
And spinning
Up
Down
Up
Down
Round and round
We go
We go
