It is 1 or 2
I am in the middle of my dreams
There is a woman, thirty miles from here, stroking her
husband lovingly
Through a brick and mortar wall
We are the loves of her life, she does not know that yet
I have not met her in the street or the isle of the
local grocery store
I have been on the phone, listening to my own voice, explaining
how this past weekend crashed like a caffeine fix
There was an occasional pause every five minutes
I have been drowning in flem and the aftermath of bronchial infection
The bottle says: do not take if you have heart problems or
liver problems
or mental problems
or bleeding problems
or fever problems
or fetus problems
But nothing works in my body unless I become a hefty lush
I will masterbate tonight, thinking of several different people
calling out several different names
Brains that have not mentioned me in months
It has been a breakfast feast for pigs and savages
Teeth all crooked and newly sharpened
itching for a turn
at
my
sanity
