Two hours until I hit the books.
Hit the wall, this page is white,
It should be black,
and I’m going
One hundred miles an hour
very slowly freaking out.



It doesn’t ***** matter what I feel
or think; I can’t trust it
and you may as well be nothing for it all.





I’m crowding my own head,
a jostling crowd in a New York subway,
make room for nothing but red lies or blue truth avoided,
but what is right; can a insane man trust his own perceptions?




I’m tired and I feel it’s all my fault.

But I always do and am I right
This is a panic onset by past experiences.
A flashback of a veteran in a jungle’s mud,
a dog with a boot mark in its head…





So I see this boot.
It’s set perfectly upon me,
a translucent film over a picture.
A déjà vu, a nightmare to scream awake from,
and I’ve seen it before.


And in all this, when I remember and want to
run not to trip and fall;

Is it a fabrication?





Why do you put up with me??

Like a burn victim at a fireshow,
this, a circus of wool and dark corners.
Your hand over mine, guiding me into the sunlit park?

I think I want to be lonely. To implode on myself in an insane solipsism.
To create a reality as cruel as I know it is.
Be happy to be miserable under white suits in dark corners.



I think I will never truly be happy until I can strip myself of all happiness…
Never climb the stairs from a moulding dungeon,
to never fall down cold stone again and again.
A cold to numb all pain of bruises

and broken bones to haphazardly perch
precariously to protect my heart…





(((Everything’s a projected ideal.)))
(((a prancing game of the mind,)))
(((swirling sandstorms of vanilla flavour delight my eyes)))
(((to protect against a stiff-armed Reich actuality...)))







[[
Discrepancies of two known subjective realities, however, when faced with an obvious incommensurability, paralyze and seizure at contact like a computer faced with two differing right answers to a problem solved abstractly as opposed to algorithmically. This results in an overload of battling logical equations climaxing in a cataclysmic overheating, or ‘meltdown’ of these internal processes, reducing the ‘virtual mind’ to an equivalent of that of a severe stroke victim.]]








…and so I lie collapsed on the floor,
a coma of delightful proportions.

My eyes of glistening crystal see exactly what they want.
Like when I was a small child,
reality exudes from a theatrical imagination.
Eternally halcyon, forever safe






from myself.

Fantastic poetry. Dark anguish from the soul. I've got goosebumps.
