I forgot to pull out my hair today.
it is termites in my skull
that I can't poison.
they talk to me but
I do not understand.

I forgot to tear off my nails again.
they are pieces of glass
growing under my skin,
that sometimes are pretty
with pinks and bruises.

I forgot to break my teeth tonight.
they are calloused stones
that grind up my tongue,
making my words
sound like spaghetti.

I forgot to press the button today.
the red one that says,
'self destruct'.
