Attention span

Rampant agony
turns
my soul
temporarily
into a goldfish

repeatedly swimming
circles in its bowl

i.e. my skull

Crying ink

Burying
my face in my
forearms
to filter screams
of agony

led to
my crying tattoos

each arm
inked w/ poetry helps
subdue the need to break
tears
over being broken inside
all the time

& feels

Divide
a ribbon a million
times

& bind it back
together
w/ transparent twine

& remember
how it looks when
the same
yet
different again

No longer blue

All
that's left
of each
iris

in my head

is
a pale coal tone
w/ fragments
of what was once
blue

that
occasionally appear
to swim in
a haze of dead
emerald

A not so new, but true

Forsooth

Remember me
like a dream you never
saw coming___,
play me like a flute
you always keep
in your jacket
pocket___,
twist me around
your finger
& tie me into a bow___,
don’t let me go
& don’t
forget your key to my
only locket___.

Avoiding scum

Clean
the shower
while you're in it,
that way the build up
won't get you down
later.

Or, it wouldn't be the same

Just wash
the piss, shit
& blood

off your hands

since,
in essence, life will
continue.

Post-amnesia

Can't remember anything,
but
can remember everything
all at the same time.

Sum times

Passing minutes in
a day

is akin
to masterbating

in the face
of a
speeding freight train
