some crazy shit

[vriad_lee]

***
when i've come to the heart of evil
so near that my mouth lost its tight
that my face, melted by the heat
took distracted, frantic outline
and my eyes, rushing outward,
bulging, mad, became grey
and lost half their sight
and, at last, my soul died,
i didn't notice it;
i continued to read
a novel by updike
and peel an orange
throwing away the rind
because my soul -
when it was alive -
used to live in the far recesses of my mind
