Isolation
Tear up last year’s map!
The world turns mad.
I watch the horror screening.
Screaming at reality
I must wring my hands.
I must monologue in slow time
not able to distance from myself.
Become a sentence without punctuation.
I must not trespass.
I must be idle.
I must be idle.
I must not trespass.
Become a sentence without punctuation,
not able to distance from myself,
I must monologue in slow time.
I must wring my hands,
Screaming at reality.
I watch the horror screening.
The world turns mad.
Tear up last year’s map!
