#TANKATUESDAY Weekly #POETRY CHALLENGE NO. 262, 2/22/22, #THEMEPROMPT – TRANSITIONS

Change Improvement Development Adjust Transform Concept

in my mental soliloquize
each transition is like limbo
lack of accountability

every ligament stretched to tee
an air of malaise I should know
stow it! sounding how the pig cries

tick each one as I’m in the guise
aghast that I could be a foe
I could be anyone but me

my heart still cordate, I agree
who’s the real me, from head to toe?
sometimes I can’t answer the whys

every one wants a piece of me
and I’d like to swim in the sea*
