MIXED MEDS & PHILIP K DICK




it was a night of dreams

identity drama
in 
the 
dull theft of night

i blame mixed meds
&
the 
philip k dick stories

that i absorb
more thru osmosis
than normal reading

he would approve

~

dreamed i was
squat & stocky
in boxy work clothes
of dusty prison blue
with a flat pan of face
all underground pale
in the morning mirror
eyes there 
the colour of sickly chocolate
taking it all in again
resigned & resilient

a short 
black fringe
straight & clumped & default
with solid white roots
showing underneath
when the train wind blew
& the black hair rose
like a rigid wing
on the commuter platform
among many heavy stares
