Sorry for wasting your time
My life is usually unraveling quietly inside various states of disarray
Its my own doing and I am a professional
I know I sound self absorbed and self afflicted
I hope I didn't steal your time
I am a lot of things
but I am not a thief
I suppose I could take comfort in some small consistencies streaming through our species
In comparison to the time we spend dodging trains
Or pursuing another 0rgasm with an animalistic momentum
This is light speed fleeting
Still
Only a small step away from creating black holes
Anyway...
I say obsessive compulsive disorder
the red tape says crazy
I say these 60 hours of consciousness are the product of a restless mind
the white suits say its surely a chemical inbalance
but upon what scale are they operating?
(eyebrows raised in disbelief)
THE SCALE OF SANITY OF COURSE
oh
The only thing that provokes a serious need for vacancy in my life
Is full pockets
That's not a half baked metaphor
nor is it an obscure display of nerves crumbling
...forever deconstructing inside a failed attempt at demonstrating the burdens of existence
I really cannot stand crowded pockets
My lifestyle does not accommodate such a condition
Tobacco boxes and plastic flames
Cheap contraptions for times subtraction
A wallet absent of evil
Still
Chalk full of all the proper identification for existing
and depending on the day
The necessary tools for twisting reality into compliance
A touch screen distraction full of pain and despondency
Its disgusting I know
we all stay cozy and space phone faded
When I come home
The first thing is excavating pockets
an act of defiance towards my own brain
I throw it everywhere
my disease has broken three phones
This has no purpose
Nor does is contain the thread of my own insecurities
its merely the ramblings of a mind finally breaking
its clearly time for the sleep that keeps eluding my trajectory
it will be a microscopic moment on a backdrop full of faceless collisions
My off switch is stuck on the green light
I wish I could wake up for a sun rise
instead of avoiding it like a criminal caught up in circumstance
