Philosophy of Calm

Faintly trembling through its apertures

and tiny tubes, through tumults of internal

fluid internecine strategies, all badgering

to get their ways to keep the balance

of collaboration warm enough to raise

another limb or placate an internal organ

whose reliance on the limbic system

lately has been challenged by an excess

of adrenaline, the wending sea of singularity

your body tries to be resembles something

like a category four storm threatening

an imminent tsunami: oh, for what through

some soft intricacy now arrives! A measured

circumspection: all the system’s frantic dives

are now subsiding – which revives the body’s

gentle pacts and flows. There is no thought

that your biology forgoes: every glimmer

in your consciousness is dressed in flesh.

You are an equanimity: your life depends

on it. You will calm down. It is the price

of your existence. You will calm down.
