The clock said
To me-
in a voice  
That was all
Too familiar
“you are my captive”
I turned to it,
told it to *******,
and went back to sleep.
It called again
Only to get the
same reaction
From me
Then came a wind
That blew my door
Wide open-
It whisked me
Away-
I knew it had won

Bukowski said it
through different
types of women
Nietzsche through
an attack on
their species
when deep down

do anything
without them?

I’ll sing to myself
I’ll pick up a guitar

was when
my search
began

The trigger clicked
out you spun
careening towards me
we all watched it was slow
eyes couldn't be averted
I fell for it

nothing like me,
you crave excitement
I crave acceptance
from those I
wish never
to please

evidently controlling
both you
and all you
endorse
have you ever,
once in your life
felt as if you
were drowning?
I do now
and all this water
over my head
comes from
you
