HYPOMANIA

Why have these balloons 
not popped, that grow so large
and simmer by the ceiling,
pre-empting bust,

like bubbles flirting 
at the surface, threatening
pop? I am in love.
It crackles under duvets like

electric blankets,
spilling sparks into my groin.
I swell like blisters
that grow hard and burst

like fountains that erupt
like beer cans,
shaken to the point of bang,
and tin, exploded, shines

like water falling
into water. Water welling
in the mouth
and water, pooled, tastes salted.
