Self Incarceration

As I half slumber into self incarceration

On the walls of my asylum

Electric spiders do their craft

Under their silk,

I’m numb of all emotion

Can’t know the present,

Don’t recall the past

 

From a pane of fake glass

Blazes a light of acid blue

It corrodes my retinas

I can’t see the truth

 

Loudspeakers deliver

A cacophony of digital howls

Green faced, I quiver

Under the ***** of robotic sounds

 

Below the announcer of blistering news

Puncturing my ears

A distant, faint whisper I hear

My pupils dilate, blood rushes through

Is it true?

Could it be you?

Could it be you?
