Upgrade

something happened.
as if a veil of intelligence was revealed,
my mind cleared, my body abided.
I smashed the ball with my racquet,
it returned with accuracy and high velocity.
as if in a flow, high speed exchange continued.
I woke up from the slumber of the average
and felt my new skin of rediscovered self.
Through sublimation, growth, and evolution,
I sensed an upgrade.

Battle

everyone was busy covering themselves.
no one knew what is right or wrong.
we sensed the moment
and grasped at whatever we felt
was a hand of salvage.
there were comrades who saved us,
and those of us who sought to severe the tie
with a sharp little teeth
glistening as they smile.
in the end, we remembered those who saved us.
those who we helped,
and appreciate the fondness we have for each other.
