divided self



i’ve been burning for weeks
in an isolated network 
of synaptic circuitry 
pretending to be flesh and blood

welcome to the desert of the real
infinity hung up on us eons ago 
we hardly remembered to call again 

somebody fix the phoneline please
somebody give birth to light again, somebody 
at least shout really loud about it 
so there’s something to focus on 
other than lousy poems and visions of glorious destruction 

my head is a bunch of balloons
held by an anemic child whose grip 
fails to understand the importance of 
never ever letting go, 

whoops, it happened again.
goodbye flat ground, goodbye
suspension of disbelief 
regarding the absurdity of eyes, 
goodbye illusion of normality, goodbye 
conventional reality, i’ll send 
you postcards from the void, you bastards 
never let me get too far anyway
