His brain 

Ticks over
A waterfall 
Of emotions
In a crumpled suit
Knowing this 
And that 
And the other 
Without having
Any idea
Which way
Is up
He pulls 
The plug
Empties the sink
Drains the dregs 
And the loose leaves
Of his table 
This is 
No way to be
He thinks
As he 
Performs 
The ever tumbling
Somersaults 
That his life 
Forces him into
Though the acrobats
Thigh high
In 
Electricity
Tumble twistedly
By will
Or high voltage
They tried to
Build their boats
Heed the warning
Avoid the flood
They just didn't realise 
The sea was
On fire
And to swim 
And drown 
And burn 
All at the same 
Time 
Was never 
High on the agenda
No matter how far 
They stretched 
The lines 
Of sanity 
By which
They governed 
Their ruined
Beliefs
Long before
Any one of them
Had really
Ever started 
Thinking 
About 
Living

I really like this one - great opening image - A waterfall of emotions in a crumpled suit - and the rest, great!
