Falling into lines and columns and sheets
He-trailblazer- carbon
vanishing from the miniature curtain rail
enclosure
And the wood panelling parted
For him
Shuttling
to
Spirited universe
Trailblazer swooshing down that tunnel
Past the polished panels
Throbbing
into vast brightness that is sweet ecstasy
trip of wonder and love
He goes headfirst and on his ass
Swerving
the
corner
Giddy love tunnel whoops
Arms extending and dancing
It is purely joy and cuming from now on
To be spoken with steadfastness and will and determination for parting panels
and
love tunnels
and
coming cuming
to
phosphorescent
