Poisoner

skull cathedral

to my self regulation

this motivated reasoning

becomes a brutal self negotiation

alone from my own hollow cave

where the fangs are made of brains

my very thoughts become venom

from here the negotiation becomes violent

this cave fills with victims

faster

then slowly

my reason loses meaning

another negotiation ends, again

poisoned

from poison

alive

i'm cataloging antidotes 

alone

from my own hollow cave

i regulate reason

for now...

until next time

Author's Note

us and our motivated reasoning.... smh
