Oblique

 My attachments clearly can't be told

My own itch scratches, it's getting old.

Around my halo a devil grows,

My brain's not level

everyone knows.

But if I squint and turn my head,

If I tint and don't look dead.

I kinda see what I want to see.

I see a me that's nearly free.

Bathtub Sea

 Bathtub Sea        

There is no place I'd rather be,

Than floating along in my bathtub sea.

I'm warm and safe and I can play,

In the morning, evening or middle day.

You ask me what my hobbies are,

Do I write or cook or drive a car?

You wonder for my sanity,

I don't even move when I have to pee.

My tub, my palace, the place I love,

Fits 'round my skin like a supple glove.

So back off you jackoff and let me be,

Alone and quiet in my bathtub sea.

Traffic

 Traffic

There's a hum in the corner of my mind

There's a light just out of reach.

There's a sound in the center of my soul

A whisper and a screech

I'm always pulling down the shades

I'm always plugging up my ears.

I listen closely to the sound

Tightly squeezing all my fears.

Thinking

 

 

 It happens 

A lot

 

Drinking

It happened

But now it does not

 

Blinking

To blot out

The gathering doom

 

Sinking

I'm slipping in and out

Thinking...

What's Left?

Expand the place where your breathing stops,

and pause for just a breath.

Release the hold on what you find,

and notice where you are.

Expand again, your inner self

is living just inside.

Let go the breath and with it time,

what's left is what you are.
