manic
at the edge of
maniac
as i vibrate
a shadow in
the darkness

i am distincly
indistinct
a magic trick
long debunked
casting dispersions
because illusions
have lost their
lingering luster

a self cannibalizing
cannonball careening
into a series of
ancillarily adjacent
accidental axioms

if you’re reading this
try to remember
i was never here at all
