Each step sizzles, fire greets frost,
melting, refreezing on this restless deck.
Thoughts queue like gulls on a railing,
squabbling for scraps of attention I toss.

I reload a prompt for borrowed lightning,
scroll a feed for proof the world still spins.
Tiny clicks become my metronome
brain barking move, body lagging behind the countdown.

What’s right feels anchored, heavy.
What’s easy. A riptide shortcut.
Distractions split into twin sirens:
one hums technicolor invention,
the other whispers shipwreck stories in the dark.

I tag every signal for data, toss zero crumbs.
Right choice rents itself short-term if optics demand;
easy choice rides the current till someone spots the missing lifeboat.
I log both frequencies, keep neither close
balancing empathy like cargo, profit in every sway.

The ocean, tired of my perfect pace, surges
spilling awkward silence onto my boots.
I dodge small talk like rogue crates on deck,
yet one loose laugh escapes
a flare the water mirrors back in metallic blue.

What’s right feels anchored, heavy.
What’s easy. A riptide shortcut.
Distractions split into twin sirens
one hums technicolor invention,
the other whispers shipwreck stories in the dark.

It’s always a sprint against the ghost of myself.
mind snapping a whip the muscles can’t outrun.
Tonight I let the stopwatch drown
count heartbeats, not milliseconds.
The deck stays level, horizon steady,
and I’m still the first to the railing.
