Silly String
Holland Jan 2018
Silly string.
Overly colorful crazy silly string.
It clings to everything.
Hair, clothes, carpet.
And my mind.

Messy thoughts.
Cloaked in vibrant worms.
Endless reminders .
High definition bookmarks
3D in your face announcements

Desperate words
Hands grip limbs
Teeth nip  flesh
Cold water on skin
But nothing hinders them.


It causes
Seconds of concentration,
Minutes of begging,
hours of pure white pain,
And years of endless regret

How the **** can I get that **** out of this fabric.
it's a poem about a compulsive disorder causing intrusive thoughts
