Note to Self-
We cannot be up to speed, you and I…
It is always a deadly game of do or die.
We come here face to face…
I laugh…
You smirk…
and act oddly out of place.
Since our time began
I have held too firmly to your hand.
Birth between the catacombs and resolution behind the vault
Her, Him
are they at fault?
Decades filled with racial slurs
History pages of commitments not deferred
Judge ye not
Judge ye not
Asylums, institutions weighed
Pink pills, razor blades
Iodine bars and nurse maids.
I’ve been told of your lot
A sad mixture of…
crazed delusions
and mother’s shavings
laid out at the 24 pass parking lot.
Him guided by watered down psych pathology
Her with bottled up religious radiology.
The catacombs? Well, I read, on that day, a happenstance, a doctor’s note held up to the courts to display. Note to self…now you etch, hiding behind a killing dialect. So, please, please me…I ask you now. Just how was it…
You came about?
