THIS IS WHY THERE ARE SEDATIVES

& my brain
is thinking 

about my brain
with my brain

like a ladder trying
to climb itself

a mirror turning its back 

in a mad effort to see

SOFT BARS

i lay down on the afternoon sun 

on the quilt, i mean
on a sun touched quilt

  giving up
  giving in
  COMPELLED to nap
  like
  invisible concrete

  or something
 
i drift and sink into a sudden fug

  a silent funk
  a still frenzy
  of
  total flop
   
i am guilty and caught and prescribed
i was fighting and lost and now 
  
  PRISONER !

behind 
the 
soft bars
of
new
medication
