Out the Window

when the mind twists & contorts----
                shortens the span of attention from nada to
                    / what was that again?
failure to launch failure to acknowledge there is a problem
at all.
       it's not a fall! i'm just flying!
       just having fun!
[my brain is lost & i can't find it, is what i mean--]
what i mean what i truly mean i am a jelly bean
sweating with saliva dripping with desire & furious with
such passion -------- i'm numb. beyond. up up & away.
                                                        we're gone.
(the scary part was that i cared) not about me of course!
such a shame that would be- but you, oh you!
making me feel like such dirt like such a useless pile of
sickness; just let me roll over & vomit my heart out.
