Unsoundness of the Mind

Dogs hanging from the ceiling
Eyes glued to crooked, pointed teeth
Glistening finger nails blue with blood
Whales in skinny jeans
All together in a restaurant
The rum is purple
Purple as the skin
All over eyelids flutter madly
They watch
They watch
They watch
Body grows smaller and then disappears
Jumped in front of the speeding caterpillar
The waves rose to the sky
Hands around the neck
Bubbles escape overwhelmed breathing tube
Shark on the earth
The snapping, snapping of pain
A roar of desperation
Bury help
Ashes stream down the cheeks
Imperfections blaze
Sloth runs and runs but gets nowhere
Falling upwards
To reality
Splashing
Flailing
Crying
8-legged things
Crawling
Crawling
Crawling.
Stuck, fading.
Fade to rainbow.
