No title today

Back home, I feel uplifted.
I can feel myself smiling even 
when I am not. I picture myself 
smiling. Something's shifted. 

Not to say I'm not zapped
By zagging bolts of panic.
Sitting in the car freaking
Like my shoulder got tapped

By a reaper. Aside from that
I'm staying high in my head.  
You know — the headband area?
At 3AM I heard a new cat

Start arrrrrrr-ing loudly. 
We caught a glimpse of her. 
Fluffy and furious. I'll feed her. 
There's so much to do proudly

in my city right now. What a wonder. 
But it can all go up in [redacted]
in a minute. I can't think about it. 
I'm flying high to not get sucked under

Water. They can't drag me down, 
can they? Can they drag me down?
Is it impossible to stay moisturized?
I picture myself smiling. I frown.
