Tear-Shaped Beaker

“You must suffer me to go my own dark way.”

Robert Louis Stevenson, Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde

TEAR-SHAPED BEAKER

the tear-shaped beaker, 
 an amalgamation of Hyde & Jeckyll
      all the rage
   simpering smiles
          a London chill
the fog, the rafter, the edge of night
   & diurnal pain

i want to break the glass,  like a madman
   but don’t know the effects -
where i might stay in animated suspense

…breaking other people’s hearts
