out of sorts
out of shorts
short changed
changed my mind
minding the store
storing away
the insolence
of another new day
fumbling for the words
science diction
webster’s fictionary
a tome of subtle lies
lying here
creating worlds
of words
as the knot
in my throat
the slipknot
around my trachea
traces subdermal hemotoma
hemorrhaging dream
vomiting blood
onto the untarnished page
