A Dart Can Take Down an Elephant Like a Mouse Can Encapsulate Madness

If I were to give these days a name
I would have to come up with one
Of my own invention.

There are too many options
Common to my vocabulary
That I can not trust.

They come to me quite easily
But their presence is not effortless.

If I were a ghost like gravity there
Would be no need to find it:

The Name.  More so, a word. 

And it would be perfect.
Unobtrusive.

A law with no crime to
Thwart.

Just a finger pointed at a balloon
Full of gas as it floats with the
Illusion of lawlessness, when in fact
It is another that works
In conjunction with
Another

To

Demonstrate the power of
Volume and displacement.

But

Is a whole 'nother thing altogether.

A phenomenon, is that it?
Autonomic and natural like the way
One breathes while sleeping until
He or she does not which is when
The whole thing is seen for what
It is - through cessation.

Then comes the name. Which is
No more an anomaly than the
State that proceeded it. Or no
Less a marvel than the life that
Forgot it was even there:

On a bed like a bullfrog.
Dreaming.

About what?
Your guess is as good as mine.

But still.

A dart can take down an elephant
Like a mouse can encapsulate madness.
Or a dripping sink can make some kid's
Saturday morning cartoon session
Howl worthy

With
No mind for the electricity that gives
Pulse to that which fuels it until it is gone.
Which can happen for any number of
Reasons.

Just ask the bill man or bad behavior.
Or the conclusion of the mouse man's
Sink story howl capped conditioning.

Buttons are to balloons like death is
To gravity.

The names that come to mind are and is an impulse that is unimportant.
Yet, they are and it is an impulse still.

Thus spoke I who chose not to frame

It.

settle.

If you are here with me now then I am
Here with you too.

Which is something.

Without the trappings of impulse.

Nor need for invention.

It just is.
