Upside Down
As a child, when the house grew dull
I lay vertical on the couch and swung
Til my head touched the ground and my hair sprawled
On the stained carpet and I saw
The world in upside down
I pictured myself walking on the ceiling
Clambering over jutted doorway ledges
And would we mount our kitchen table
Next to the standing light fixtures
Or defy gravity to get into our beds
I may have spent too much time on my head, though
My brains became scrambled
And my eyes don’t sit right in their spots anymore
And I think my world is still a bit upside down
Because no matter what I do
I can’t seem to see it the same way
As everyone else
