Mind Ferrets

Insomnia- the madman napping in the attic.
Alarm clock set for a second past the ogre's hour...
His greasy head resting on a burlap bag. 
Filling with ferrets and rats-firecrackers for teeth.

The alarm goes off-he opens the bag.
Laughing while injecting with Red Bull and meth.
He lives to plant a sluice box into your mind.
Washing the last nugget from your tired life.

Doesn’t sound like a place I’d want to be…physically or mentally. Love the second line, Anthony.
