we are too weighed down by our ideas and our minds

we are too weighed down by our ideas 
our minds

our wants

our ideals

our habits and our fears 
our shames and our sighs

our minds are heavy

look how we all walk with our heads

trailing like heavy baggage behind us

they just can not keep upright anymore

all these orthopaedic concerns are because of

our heavy heads

i am surprised they have not exploded yet

thanks to all our smartphones, laptops and tablets

they carry a part of the great heaviness

of too many ideas

what would we have done if we could not steer

the overflow into these metal brains?

maybe because we have these metal brains

our fleshy brains just keep on churning the thinking

the computing

the inventing

continual stimulation between inorganic and organic matter

fuck this!

arch out our backs

lift our heads

and shake all the heaviness out

be light and empty 

feel the air move between our ribs

our diaphragms

and every cell

feel our feet 
losing touch with the earth

start to rise

and float to the lightness of the clouds
