my brain is a pile
of writhing pink earthworms
tangled up like confusing spaghetti,
pressing against every crevice of my skull,
forcing open cracks, burrowing through,
chewing out tissue and
crawling through my orifices
-- eyes, ears, nose, mouth --
here i am
spewing earthworms --
sorry i can't be in class,
i'm busy choking on my own brains.

here i am
spewing earthworms --
sorry i can't be in class,
i'm busy choking on my own brains.
