In my head, there's constant noise
to much clamor to hear my voice
Sounds of rapid rumbling chatter
makes me lose my mind and matter
In my head, there's lots of clatter
daydreams break, submit and scatter
But when they do, I always try
to call them back before they die
In my head, the senses sigh,
neurons sulk as thoughts fly by
Words dont fit in any phrase
Everything is out of place
In my head, the reverie haze
leaves every impulse in a daze
Roads too rough and hills too steep
Circuts crackle, then they weep
In my head, the doubts run deep
Nothing's ever sound asleep
Speculations formed by fear
shapes desires weak and sheer
In my he
While all the population of our expanding nation
Gathers in formation at the jollyest location
To uphold the fixation of a strangers admiration
By an annually planned out plunder
Without a blunder, quick like thunder
They need decor to not go under
I sit back and wonder
Though I know that 'tis the season
Is there ever a good reason
For this strive towards repletion
When the prize is obsoletion
Of cohesion
So in health and in sickness
And with blessings from Narcissus
Albeit quite fictitious
Have very merry Christmas
In my head, there's constant noise
to much clamor to hear my voice
Sounds of rapid rumbling chatter
makes me lose my mind and matter
In my head, there's lots of clatter
daydreams break, submit and scatter
But when they do, I always try
to call them back before they die
In my head, the senses sigh,
neurons sulk as thoughts fly by
Words dont fit in any phrase
Everything is out of place
In my head, the reverie haze
leaves every impulse in a daze
Roads too rough and hills too steep
Circuts crackle, then they weep
In my head, the doubts run deep
Nothing's ever sound asleep
Speculations formed by fear
shapes desires weak and sheer
In my he
While all the population of our expanding nation
Gathers in formation at the jollyest location
To uphold the fixation of a strangers admiration
By an annually planned out plunder
Without a blunder, quick like thunder
They need decor to not go under
I sit back and wonder
Though I know that 'tis the season
Is there ever a good reason
For this strive towards repletion
When the prize is obsoletion
Of cohesion
So in health and in sickness
And with blessings from Narcissus
Albeit quite fictitious
Have very merry Christmas

The Bus Stop Dialogues
I.
A young man at the bus stop
turns to me and softly asks
"Why aren't you wearing shoes?"
He taps the faded leather
of his suedo-skin
and his eyes smile in a gentle lilt
before his mouth does.
I tell him that I like
to feel the earth breathe.
That textures keep my mind alive
and ticking like a clock.
I tell him that I'm trying to grow roots
so my pale limbs can twist into a tree
(the way L and I talked about it in therapy).
I tell him that my soul is lonely
and the ground is the only thing that's always there.
I tell him that bare skin is sensitive
and stroking it with every (twelfth) step
is a soothing form of self-care
