how do you become comfortable with the bogeyman when he lives inside your lungs and brain and heart? how do you tell him that your lungs must pump that your brain don't work that your heart can't beat? do you pray to him? write little notes that say "please" and "thank you"? do you beat him til he gives in and goes? do you hug him close? does he know how dark it is inside there? can he even leave? is he permanent? is he washable? can you scare him out? can you swallow down poison and force him out of your soft parts? can you cut him out with scissors or blades? can you smoke him out? can you drink him out? can you throw him up? is he there because of you? do you really want him gone?
