First Week Back

by Saturday, September 1st, 2001.

My dreams have been erased,
sleep deprivation starts today,
10 incomplete math problems,
no means to understand how things have gone wrong
Though I know that the immediate trouble can’t stay,
I’ll suffer for a full year,

I don’t care about them, they don’t seem to care about
me, isolation is not a consolation, when blood streaks
over my eyes. They left the room and went out with
style, I couldn’t catch up over miles.

I’m alone, floating through space, a lit anchor across
the way, of 10^50 shards of glass, I don’t think I’ll
make it to the other side…

They all suffer, and I can’t explain why, I can’t
neutralize it like everything else…

She dropped her necklace on the stairs, I stepped on
it with Newtons of force cracking the glass, I didn’t
care, I’ll crawl into a hole and die.
