I am not okay with this,
I can't go on, the shudders come
So often now, I can't control the
Outbursts, thoughts of sex and her and
I slam my fist into my palm, I shake my head,
I say things I don't know and
Can't understand, the muscles
In both arms contract,
I squeeze and crush an invisible enemy
Or lover, every word
Every wish, every regret, every
Passion, rage and filth; I am
What I have made myself, and what I was
Is gone, I, I, I,
Develop ticks and nervous habits to
Cope, coddle my affectations and then
Decry them, I am not okay with this,
As a talking man worshipping silence
All I can do is scratch my head
And wait for my hair to fall out.
