any American
schizophrenia
i often saw images
as we pressed liquid into fabric
processing soy sauce for the restaurant
i kept this to myself for years
one night driving home
under the guiding eye of a single headlight
a voice told me to get a gun and use it
the very next morning
i forced my way into the local psychiatric ward
told them what i seen and heard
i let them pump me full of antipsychotics i
learned about my illness. they call it schizophrenia
i still see images in the fabrics and
i like who i see in the mirror
the voices sometimes speak to me but
i talk back. you can't make me do
anything I don't want to

one twenty eight words into play
saturday morning
wake me with flashing pixelated light
blast me with heat from a gasoline engine
drop a single sugar donut into my belly
float me on a river of coffee
black. let me put these words
into play
