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).
