murderous mirror mars the mythology
I've manufactured to moderate
my misery's mockingbird gaze
pretend I'm not the person
I know I am:
disconsolate oddball vagabond farceur
adolescent unconvincing in adulthood
product of too many psychiatrists and not enough parenting
insomniac panic attack personified
railing against reason and reality
futile in every faltering footstep
nicotine-stained nightmare, knotted through with neurosis
broken, that's the bones of this.
