Mental Illness
But mostly, mental illness is annoying.
Like drool all over the place.
A drafty hallway.
Imparts a feeling that can be measured but no one tries.
Sweep up.
Piles of dust turn to more dust.
Drifting along.
Is like a torn finger nail except is emotional.
But mostly, mental illness is an oddball.
Joking around, with nothing.
Dancing as if there’s such thing.
Takes me away like ribbons of spaghetti.
But mostly.
Dry mouth.
Trembling awfully.
Monster drool and slime.
I don’t consider what’s happening a “storm.”
Memories.
Just this oddball reminiscing.
Like cleaning a bathroom with a toothpick.
Imparts a feeling that I tried to measure.
Stabbing feelings.
But mostly, mental illness-
Costs way too much for no reason.
