several short, untitled poems

several short poems

In a moment of clarity

where it's all obvious to me

easy really, no choice at all

all I have to do

is get this needle out of my arm

 

--------------------------

 

Swing low

sweet mood

swing low again

when tomorrow

swing high

sweet mood

swing high and then

(this is perpetual, no conservation of energy)

do it over

and over

and over again

 

------------------------

 

I sit

blank eyed

slack jawed

dumbed down

and nod numb

(thank god)

 

-----------------------

 

Chaos echoes

In my mind

reverberating

pounding in the

halls of my prison

and finding

recognition

in my soul

 

----------------------

 

Poisoned

you say

you've poisoned me

well that's funny

I'm still alive

I'm still healthy

I guess you failed

better luck next time

(you f**k)
