the upside down i invents

what if exclamation points
are upside down "i"'s
such that when we assert, we invert

i -> !
our boundaries blow apart
upended, feet up
yikers! we blow up

the magic carpet has slid out
from under
us each:
our entire sense of proportion
distorts
and our heads kiss down
to the very marrow of earth

! -> i
perhaps, by getting our blown off heads
close to the breathing body of the planet
after an exclamation
we reground, rebound
ary and then level out

perhaps exclamations pump our sensebodies
in dilations and contractions of reorientation
a kind of yogic epiphanic spiraling
bringing us round again, ground bound, bright
