with all
the commotion
in the world
causing quite
the corrosion
in my brain

fluctuating
witheverynewterror
screaming in
lowercase
for a revolution
whichslowlysimmers

i decided
as an adult
to drop acid
and listen
tothetalkingheads
while sorting through
the confusion
swimminginmiasma
as the drugs
take
hold

it’s better
thantryingtobe
human
andfailing

at least for an evening

i expect
thingswillget
progressively
stranger from here
