FLASH BACK

with predatory instinct found

under siege, underground

Birch II, my ward, my home

before I leave pages turn to tome

 

with rehashed food and smuggled items of variety

cigarettes, chew, and paper clips, decaffeinated life

 

suicide attempt

breeding contempt

smash at walls

scream at captors

claws of raptors

 

manic I was, manic I remain, new rage, I am insane

 

line by line by line

empty words of horror’s sound

with LSD’s aftershocks ringing my ears

and feeding my eyes that hate your normalcy

with all the confused dread I can muster

 

one word, madness

shaking fool, lost cool

tremolo-plastic-breakfast-spoon

lifting bits of sanity to my mouth parts

 

Freshly-washed ******** desires the woman

I left in the real anti-world called home

 

close my eyes and see my last trip

bathroom tiles explode and cover sink, tub, garbage can, mirror, telephone, and leg-arms

bad trip, but it was better than your unreal world

 

take your meds now

 

two-fisted, bipolar, mixed-manic, one-eyed, living, breathing, copulating monster under eternity’s bed

 

anger pounding at my ******* coming out as a giant, stinking ****

 

the them that sit behind the desk

regulate lives of poor inmate crazies

eat their meals and take my soul

others play cards, I write, **** time, **** tension, **** myself, with treatment plans, unreasonable demands in psycho-babble B. S. words like suicidal ideation, that doesn’t apply to me, does it?

 

I want my trip back, I want to live in another place with another face

I want my trip back darling

I want to watch the words explode, I want to watch the tiles grow up my legs again

to watch as paper becomes pen, to bathe the tiles off of my inhuman skin

I want my trip back baby

I want to breathe in prism air where nothing and eternity collide

in spectacular displays of sonic-boom, emotional madness

incredibly---------------edible-------------sadness

 

I see the me looking

from inside LSD’s mirror and want to rejoin

the missing-hated-wasted-rain-forest

blackened by man’s desire

with silk-rose-petal-eye-bomb-shell

 

LEAVE!

leave me, for what I did or did not do or have or think or say or what

 

style means nothing more nothing less, you know?

 

it takes confusion to produce effective illusion

to produce base desires feed the fires

smoky the bear at the demon’s lair

with broken feet suckle the ****

of unused, aggressive, possessive MADNESS!!!!!

 

natural-organic-popcorn-hulls in rotted-bleeding-tooth-socket-decay-pain

elusive means justify idiot ends, so dig the pick into the hole in my jaw

as I scream the insanity away from my ears and into your eye-ball-socket-hole-skull-spot

 

clipped fingernail

package in the mail

next time I won’t fail

 

sleep, sleep won’t be my lover tonight, her arms won’t touch my shoulder

I won’t feel her finger-touch-tip or rub my ***** on her ******

I want my trip back

love me, love me, love me

for love or money, for emotions mistaken, for idiot sensation, for all the things you do for me, for my insanity’s sake

 

my world slowly fills with unbearable ills, chemical need so deep it erases my soul

 

feet sore from pacing

door to door to door to door

 

on and on seconds bleed out minutes, bleed the hours, tears bleed out the poison self-inflicted, pen bleeds ink onto paper

 

thoughts coagulate and scabrous emotions take
