I don't know who I am. Please help!
I'm trapped inside this madness.
If I stumbled down a rabbit hole just
let me know so I can seek out Alice
and the Cheshire Cat and the high
caterpillar with the hookah.
Maybe I've eaten mushrooms
and my imagination has run wild.
Maybe I've found Bedlam.
Bright light in the white
with kind nurses hovering
over my gurney with my straps
lovingly swaddling me like the
baby Jesus. I know I was born
from a ******'s womb, untouched
by the brutal act of human conception.
