FEELING CRAZY



if i feel crazy

might think 
lion might come inside
cos the back door is open
&
all
the
rules
have
gone
away

itd
come 
inside
big like the moon is big
&
there like a mistake is there

blunt 
brand new 
problem
wiping my petty sheet clean

itd sniff at the rug
a raw & velvet boss
with
naked natures 
hunting eyes

then
id
have to grab 
the pet cat

small as a mouse now

&
climb
us
both
out
the
window

over the fucking cactus
over the plastic windowsill

( that now seems strangely absurd )

being
very
quiet & quick & sudden

& then shut the beast in

& then call someone
fast as you like

if i feel crazy 

like that
like all rules have gone

( tho theres never clear evidence )

then
i
shower
shave
put on a clean plain t
&
my
best
watch
&
uselessly & hurriedly
tidy
away
any
real or imagined mess
into
places
&
piles

square things up

to the edge of the table
the bookcase
the
corners
of
the
floor

&
sit
quietly on a sandbar

not fishing

for anything
