One Minute in My Mind

Ready... Set... Go.

Depressed,

pressure pumping my puns

and personal pundits 

opening closed doors,

bragging about banned banners

and bumping bandits on and off,

in and out,

I scream and shout.

Angry,

blood blandly 

bullying my brains

into a drugged-out,

dragged about

dragging-out bout

of fury and rage,

beating against

the bars of my cage

protesting the progress

of my problematic age.

Dreaming,

lost in the mist,

19 and never been kissed,

not quite, but,

never been missed,

due probably to my

fear to risk

everything 

anything

nothing.

Weeping,

willfully wrestling

between a weekend

and much-needed resting,

distraught and distrusting,

downing a drink and

donning a uniform

I can't afford,

but am forced

to invest in,

entrusting my peers

to not think I'm weird

and read my writings

and understand my

cries and writhing around,

acting like a clown

and reacting to 

the smallest sound.

Unheard,

but louder than most,

leading a host

or flock of followers,

lemmings and sheep

who can't go back to sleep

because of when I

opened their eyes

and handed them the knife

that cut the Gordian knot

and left a country to rot

dug up and dug out,

clouting and routing

the traffic and transients,

the Man and his mannequins.

Done,

don't want to be a bore,

but don't want to be adored.

Sick and tired of 

being sick and tired,

but afraid the cure

will be the lure that

baits me into breaking

down, waiting instead

for death in my head,

or breakfast in bed,

whichever comes first

whichever is worst,

I wish it would just happen.

I need to sleep.
