Neither Frog nor Fish
I was falling and my Higher Power caught me in a net called AA, all of which was a pretty neat trick, but the strangest consequence of this is now I somehow think it shouldn’t be possible for me to drown. Defying gravity 24 hours at a time doesn’t make me aquatic or even amphibious for that matter. I still have all the corollary restrictions of anyone who is me. I still need sleep and water, food and warmth just like a mere mortal. How silly I am. I dodge a bullet and suddenly I think I am waterproof.
Don’t exchange your trinkets for your tools

WHAMMO
I have been hopping on one foot
With a ball of hope shoved under one arm
And a ball of hysteria under the other
I wish I could tell from the outside of the ball
Which one is hope- I worry I will put down the wrong one
So I hold onto both
My life is sorely limited by the baggage
And I fear I am losing life with every hop
A lack of information is my problem
I don't adequately know the properties of either
And suspect my every interpretation
Finally I stand before my sponsor
To ask the question of my life- That's easy Honey
Hope is the one that bounces back
Is all she had to say
