Head vomit

Yes of course

Yes of course

Mar 02, 2022

Why do I have to have a form
Just to follow function?
I'd rather be a function
Stalking a form

I'd rather be
Phenomenal fangs
Jewelry eyes
Little smiles (seven, precise)
Long faces dripping like wax
Why wax poetic when you could just
Die?

I need aid
Lemon, lime, emotional.
I need burn
Heart, -out, -up.
I want screens
Like friends, like foes, like self.

Like friends, like foes, like father
Like-minded, like some specific word I 
Can't
Won't
Don't have to say.

What is this you
Can't won't don't say?
This is your question as you scribble your entirety
Identity
All out on the floor
Out of your fingers bloody already

And I think
Two hands on my chin
One hand on the notebook
Three holding my face together
Two feet in the grave
One in the frying pan three more in the fire
And infinity in my day dreamt eyes

And I say
With my jewelry eyes
And my seven smiling mouths
And my melting faces
"It's son."

And of course you say son?
As you fall into your fur
Shedding your people costume
Cheshire and chagrined
Sun? But that would make you shine

I cry from eyes neither of us can see
And smile with my seven frowning mouths
And I say or daughter, neither feel good, not quite like I do, much more like
Steel wool words
Or perhaps
Maybe nails on a violin.

And you're quiet
Because
You understand.

5 AM strikes again! This time retroactively (after the fact), because 5 AM is when I went to sleep that night! Then I woke up at 8, conked out till 12, woke up and write this! Yay!
Can you guess what big life event led to this? Was it: a), drugs, b), depression, c) something that happened a long time ago I nearly don't remember, or d), a dream? Place your bets in the comments, people!
(Hint: i don't do drugs, I just included that to throw you off)

My guess is a mix of B and D?

My brain is a terrifying pit of terrifying things, so when I have the time, I turn them into poems!
There is no real schedule for updates, so stay tuned!
