Stable

Stable is just a word
A relatively perciptable word
With hundreds of inconspicuous meanings
With hundreds of perceptions we make
with a million possibilities
a few probabilities
and the mind oscillates
from memory to memory
jumping the pendulum
overwhelming you
unreasonably
Skipping chapters you would enjoy
selectively like a sly critic
hitting your blind spot
with a tong of hot white
jumping you until tears
spring like from the
fountain of youth
shuddering as you do
to your very core
Finally you fall
The trigger is no longer there
But this tremendous episode
It has you convulsing
and you lose what little grip
on reality you had
Stable
what is that?
