Refractory Response
They say you control me, as I am the head, and You, the neck.
They say that through my stomach, You influence my heart... but the truth of your power actually lies beneath the navel of this boiling tea-bound bergamot orange.
It is only after the moment where the pressure is released...
that You,
are nothing to me.
I no longer need
You…
and You,
no longer control, me.
I can think clearly,
and I, am completely,
rational.
Awaken, and no longer blinded by nature's hypnosis,
I can now unpeel
You,
from your power.
It is solely within this ever-escaping ephemeral moment
where the monkey holds
an unloaded gun…
that I can see
You,
for whom You truly are - -
No strings attached.
