A God of His Own
My physical self is pitiful
I have been incapacitated since an early age

My body is a useless shell
Luckily, this place is beyond basic physicalities
This place transcends the grim and darkness of reality

ventilator, heart monitor, IV pump—
forming an accidental orchestra
the clutch of machinery holding time
like a hi-hat choking its own decay.
Underneath the electronic rhythms

The Circus Is In Town
Come join the unraveling circus
quite soon to be passing our way,
with the clowns in a clamor to twerk us -

he adorns a...
