Delirium

Clip clop
Swish swosh
Cough, sniffle
Apologies
Chuckle
Slam! Crash
Of metal
Shh…
I’m being watched,
Take a look
At yourself in the mirror
What do you see?
Asshole,
Anger in the eyes.
Punch him, crack him in the
Face.
Internal voice screams
Walk away
Toward,
Nothing
Everything
Anything.
Why?
Pause
Pause
Rewind
Fast forward
Play
Always late.
Close eyes, the mind,
Arrow points the way
Of how to act
Feel, think, be.
Fire in the heart
Frozen solid.
Fall behind
Alone
Dark
No growth, dead.
Warning to slow down
Faster, faster
Spin out of control.
Stop.
Turn engines on
Speed away
Splash of puddle
Wet,
Always raining
No sun,
Come back
Too far.
Everything’s broken
Can’t be fixed
Maybe recycled,
Filtered
Running through gutters
Cascading
Screeching to a halt…
Gotta keep flowing
Going
Don’t look back
Push forward.
Where are they?
Where is this place?
Fluttering in the breeze
Flapping
Fluttering by
Flutterby
Butterfly, here?
Unbelievable
Believe it
Go full circle.
