I posted this in breathing_words already, but most of you don't read that.
I woke up a few days ago, and for some reason, the phrase "he choked the truth into irrelevance" was in my head. I don't know where it came from; I guess I made it up. Anyway, I wrote a poem about it. But it makes no sense at all. I think it's about a mental hospital. But I'm not real sure.
He choked the truth into irrelevance
and sent me screaming to that place
with the white and long and sterile halls
and those clipboards that
bind you to your past.
The doctor's pens, they scratch the paper,
and the ink falls, screaming schizophrenic.
shock therapy.
Yeah. I have no idea what it means. But I kind of like it anyway.
