Hectic

Yes, dear, I know you are
dizzy and if I could be
your sweet cotton, I would
make this world comfortable.
I would be the barrier,
the hedge, between cold dark
earth and your lovely craft.
I would chain up this world
and make it do your bidding.
It would surely tap dance for
you, this absurd globe.
Since I am not a god, we will
take a moment and slow down.
