blinded by the attitude
that carried his shoes in
way before he arrived at the scene
they were both confused and astounded
a silent silver snake
sneaking up preaching its jaw
an omen ommiting the air
pressing the life out of every gasp
they watched in jazz jingling joy
peasants savoring the essence
of
fresh bread loafes in the morning
yearning for something to satisfy their lust
their demi god has arrived
their blue eyed brown winged savior
preserver of old
and
confidence for new

I plan out a day of chain smoking and reading
And quite possibly more cigarette burns in my bedsheets and books
It's so cold that I'm capable of inhaling more carcinogens
Then there are degrees fahrenheit
I got up, at some point while figuring this out
And caught myself making faces in the mirror
Practicing different voices and catagorizing my characterizations
As either the good guy or bad guy
Still just standing and looking at myself
After realizing what I am clearly doin
psychology defines schizophrenia
as an impairing, delusional disorder

hopeless fantasy from harsh reality,
or even suspicion from acceptance
but aspen is a lovely, flexible woman
with names of imperial animal races

written in cursive sharpie on her palms
she takes pills that seem to
dampen & take away those charming
things she always says to me;
the voices don’t haunt or tease her,
they’ve always respected the way she
counted with willpower & the way sh
