Texas

Five places One twice the size of Texas In the middle of the drink Circling in its current Each our own resistance But all in the same, the same direction There's plaque at the axis I would've been content to sit at the rim But I paddle and pant like a dog Away from what I think is the middle The middle has no bone But it's strong enough to keep you there Sustainable waste won't give you a seat at the rim It will swallow my body but I don't belong to it
