This is how it happens
Obsession then compulsion
Humming humming, jet propulsion
Palms to temples, heat emulsion

Pulling at the thread pulling at the
Thread pulling at the
Thread pulling
At the
thread
Thread pulling at until there’s

nothing in my head
Nothing in my
Head nothing in my
Empty underfed
Head
Nothing in my head

I’m just pulling at the thread

Pulling pulling

Pulling at the

At the thread
Pulling pulling at

Until
It
Stops.
