I am moving into
another head
where thoughts are kinder to me…
With more breathing room
frosted Windows, and better wiring.
With fluffy pillows of cerebellum
to soften nooks and crannies
and fewer doors.
Where Disney daydreams never get interrupted
by the Emergency Panic Service
(conducting a test in my area)
and Night Terrors
are just a show on TV.
When I move, the only prerequisites
for my new, grey space
are “fugue it” rooms
(for wall-scrawling)
a widow’s walk,
& guard rails….
maybe one of those gliding, stair-lift thingeez,
to facilitate illogical leaps, and breaks in rationale.
When I move, I am throwing most everything I have already, away
Boxes and boxes and boxes
and boxes!
(bet you knew that was coming)
of stuff Pandora likes
but me not so much
and a few, dead cats the reek of which
permeate every, single meta-phor of my current mind-frame
> even high heaven <
since death
(like heat)
rises.
