strange little poem about my speed days

"

“brain gone bad”
 
 
my molars are dancing, tekka-tekking to the strung-out
paint can groove of my heart. neck stiff as frozen.
every time I look in the mirror I’m sweatier.
pills taste sweet, but not like candy.
the kind of sweet I think baby vomit is.
someone cut me open,
poured cement under my skin,
and it’s just starting to harden.
4 am’s the same as noon.
I somehow missed the moon.
now I’ve turned yellow,
mellow and greasy as popcorn butter.
by the smell I might be decomposing…
three showers later the stink’s still there.

i know exactly what you mean

i walked home in rainbows many times
early shadows leading me down
my door like a cavern gap where
stepping in would change time

you and i know of these places

very nice

Wow. I can't say enough about your imagery.

The world you create about drug use and ideas that go through your head, I can relate completely. I'm just more surprised I'm the only one commenting on these. I hate when brilliance isn't appreciated.
