I tilt the level
Trying to perfectly
Balance the caught breath
Of the bubble trapped within

Perhaps if it is carefully aligned
Everything made straight
Then the world will
Make sense

And maybe
If I can tilt myself
To the right angle, then
I’ll be at peace with what is
And with what is trapped inside

Note: The initial concept for this was inspired by a book I was reading (chapter 4 of Into The Wild).
