break the block
the block is dealt with smashed, guaranteed
by jumping off a cliff, a near miss with death
get in the grip of nature's claws, sunken deep in mud and shit
falling off a high place be it roof or tree,
the shuttering wings of a high altitude plane caught in turbulence
or better yet a small crop duster, single prop caught in near missed wires
gettaway from creature comforts' freezing ass in the snow
grip of frozen melancholy,
pain and suffering's monotony off the beaten path
aching gut from cold or sweat, high altitude, low altitudes
desert's pass, mountain peak, cold alone's morass,
pitch of dark,
brink of edge,
cavern's hole,
vortex fall in the black
lost away from the safe
safe away from safe
out of gas, out of breath, out of friends, out of town
ill report, no support, stabbed in the back, kicked in groin
sucked in, chewed up, spat out hanging by a thread
which way to turn, quell the fear, contain the dread
move the block with block and tackle it with your mind's over matter,
splatter, subdue the sultry sundry suffocating ho hum boredom ordinary dross,
bring the liquid of your thoughts to surface;
it will move huge blocks by lubrication,
just like death valley's mystery rocks by rain and wind
and when you get a chance to reflect an' shake off the pressing needs
and stare into space alone, away from expectation's eyes
no one to appease, no frills' demands
regurgitations of stale food expelled and purged,
no left overs left to eat
convert the block
to a chopping block of fresh killed meat
