But How does that make you feel?

I discovered roller coasters for the first time after I saw my therapist

 

 

 

She told me I had

OCD, DID, ADD, and an eating

disorder She told me to keep it simple and

stop trying to please others I told her to set herself

on fire I decide to take my damaged ass to an amusement

park and tell the drive I’m allowed I’m 5’4 You’re a ***** I spit

on him and jump into the car I defy gravity by myself on this tipsy turvy

future mobile I go up and into space and ride through clichés until my overalls

Snap off and set me free where I float without medication Snap out of it, you hairy

**** You never know how it feels to lose control until you’ve lost all control She never

Knew With the giant pebbles and water cascading downwards in a freefall And the terrible

feng shui that parts her massive thighs point my eyes into her pant stain while my entire head

falls down for the bottom A sick endless cycle of torture just like

the Mexican chanting annual melodies

…at a Tucson establishment

…sitting on truck tables at the doctor’s office

…cutting off DNA into style

…fighting off fever with drive by flu shots

So I count to 5

while I

make hot cocoa

And tap the doorway

I try on 4 different pairs of pants

eat an entire bag of Cheetos and

throw up

It’s all situational and relative and ridiculous

I don’t care if some 14 year old wears orange lipstick and

***** off her math teacher

 

 

 

 

Tell me Doctor what’s the diagnosis for my sick bluish foot

Oh you’re right I guess I do need to vacate the premises

The Land of the Lepers exists and we have renamed it “America”
