work in progress
moments like these
you want to jump out of your skin,
rearrange your bones,
and leave as someone else.moments like these
you realize at last you are drowning,
and no one,
no one will see you waving.moments like these
are awkward as an adolescent’s hard-on,
too bulky to hide,
too base to hide from.moments like these
are cunning, conniving, cruel.
they bite you in the ass
with your own teeth.and when your back is turned,
you will sneak up on yourself,
and you will clutch your throat,
and you will throttle you.but somehow you will get away
and wrestle yourself to the ground.
you’ll go at it like a pair of shadow puppets
or a solitary lunatic.because in moments like these
everything you had ever believed
and everything you had ever doubted
will switch places.lfm a.k.a. beardy
