twist and strech
and try to pull
yourself out of the car
or out of the bed
or out of a rut
same old patterns
but a different time
and place and space
can't go on the side
or bend to flex
holding fluid
won't go down
you hold it up
and tuck your arm
and hope your weight
doesn't pull her down
or pull you down
but you'll fall down
because what goes up
must come down
and sometimes further
down than you think
you can't feel or see
so you didn't
but now you do
because you can
doesn't make it easy
doesn't make it right
does make me tired
of it all
