downplay the irksome
i hear it works wonders,
just delete, erase - like it never happened
did it not? the mind wanders
and corridors snake about, it did, squash
that gnat, there problem solved!
elation, wonder struck, a rolling stone heats up
and moss turn to ashes - puff, smoke
snakes
in the air, tendrils coiling, tightening
on waist, a belly no longer protrudes,
and a red faced man sputters, spittle's
drools ... ... what have you?
wake up,
the nurse brushes moist skin, a cold icy towel
presses upon the forehead, you're running a high fever,
snakes, in the mind,
but they were dead, the man tried to recall,
but even memory is failing.
why?
and snakes, they fed on his mind, his heart, his flesh,
you're not a god, though you sure act like one,
when?
being adult thought a teenager means
i can do whatever i want now -
what?
soon realizes new clasps on his ankles, hands,
chains yank about, sways the human form in
disbelief!
not again, as he is hurtled into an abyss,
no, no, no
and thus cast reality into a cauldron, shaped the smoke, tendrils
igniting moss still green, damn green
falling into one pit hole after another.
let loose,
a yowl,
i can be anything, and the snake
smoke went into his head,
you played god long enough
a man stifles a laugh, i did what i thought best,
and the darkness smiled - and we liked it.
