betablockers
she gave me two to calm my nerves. all my limbs are heavy and soft; they feel like someone else's meat. my eyes sometimes close to blink and stay rested on the bottom lid for a second or two, as tho ready to sleep. all the worries of the world are happening to someone else.
i wrote this just now. i don't think it's much good, but i haven't written for months. i'm grateful for anything that befalls me:
*******************
you think i'll drown if you
hold my face down
in a river? see me now,
breathing thru gills i sliced
in my cheek
with the fish-hook you meant
me to swallow, digest
and tangle about my liver.
pull it and see - what's there? - is
it me?
is it heart? is it lungs or
fireworks?
