Bubble of belief

Baby, baby, you’ll be fine
and I’ll be fine and they’ll be fine
when a bubble of belief pop-pops
and lies like a fallen leaf

on the ground of an illusion.

It takes a time before the stretch
and blow-up of the truth
rebels and fights against
normal ignorance

but, picky-picky, no big bang
just planned obsolescence
of what the bubble holds.

Knives and swords and weapon things,
dress-up tools for life’s decrees,

an ineffective means
of bursting a belief

and the mind, my powerhouse,

scuttles forward then retreats

because too slow I miss the twist
and lose its show of force.

And that leaves me, the ignorant,
to bend, retrieve, assimilate,

bit by bit each drop of truth
but I lose the intricacies,
bend when I should stretch

and vice versa till I sit

immovable and comfortable
within a bubble, see?
