BRAIN-BODY REJECTION
I dont think my body's workin
too many lump of flesh inside it
when I take too much & almost bite it
I swear my subconscious gets excited
I needa new type of
anti rejection meds
cuz my brain looks at my body
and it's ready to eject

CEREBRAL SPINAL FLUID DRIP
I think that I can hear my
cerebral spinal fluid dripp (x2)
sounds like fizzing
sounds like crushed ice shifting
sounds like fracking
sounds like corroded crystls cracking
sounds like water being pushed
thru clencheed teeth
sounds like dried leaves caught
...under feet
I think that I can hear it wait
my tympanic membranes vibrate (x2)
sounds like thunder
sounds like water pulls you under
sounds like drums
tense my jaw and here it comes
I think that I can hear it wait
my tympanic membranes vibrate
I think I can hear it
my cerebral spinal fluid drip

1000 YEARS OF PODUNK
extracurriculars
they took em all
all that's left now is
mailbox baseball
climb down the sewer drains
creep around graffiti thangs
clogged up creative waste
neighborhood noise complaints
close the venues
goths cause my child to sin
not the emotionally stunted pen I keep them in
not the way that I don't respect and recognize them
not they way that I don't call them “they and them”
100 years of Podunk
soon as I wake up
wanna go right back to bed
spent a hundred seven dollars just on
hay and meds
went out for a covid test but the
dern place closed
and everybody in the store don't know the mask goes
over your nose
i'm significantly embarassed by the
flow of time
like a saturated sponge
sopping into ground that's dry
this town will drain yr looks, yr will, and yr mind
this town will drain yr looks, yr will, and yr mind
1000 years of Podunk

UNSTABLE SENSE OF SELF
when I see her
I wanna be her
she's had it so easy
at least it seems to me
my sense of self's unstable
and so suggestible
I dont even think
that im perceptible
who even am I
I wish that I was dead
I am nothing
I am infrared
I am everything
im the most
im vibrating
am I a ghost?
im part of the wall
im barely here at all
if i exuded heat
theyd shoot me in the street
oh why oh why oh why
am I so beautiful
oh why oh why do I oh
have such a hideous soul
the hardest thing youll ever do is just to stay alive
the hardest thing ive ever tried is just to stay alive

LOUISA'S LIST
I am grateful on today for my bunnies
and this house and the food that I have to eat
for my medicine and parents and the four socks on my feet
and the people who are nice to me
everyday at some point I write down a list
of what I might like to do and see
and if I can check off even one of these things
then I have spent the day successfully
I am grateful
I am happy (x4)
if I can check off even one of these things
then I have spent the day successfully

IN & OUT THE THROWS
hey lil friendo
we gotta talk about it
we gotta talk about it
yeah we do
I seen yuh
always tryna lose
touch with reality
& ive been there too
ive been in psychosis
it's a sketchy place to be
spend yr life in a cage
& you finally feel free
you dont wanna hurt the ppl
that you love the most
but they pierce yr bubble
& then they got too close
we can safely check out
you and me can lick some toads
we can make tinctures
out of yarrow and of rose
we can seek beauty in this lucid snowy globe
we can go run a cop car off the road I suppose
when yr in the throws of madness
call me im real close
ive been in and out and out and in and out the throws
when yr in the throws of madness
call me im real close
cuz ive been in and out and in and out and out the throws
