can’t get them to quiet down
screaming out loud
inside the confines
of a mind gone numb
not so much pain
just plain confusion
tangled web of voices
all with their own demands
looking around he wonders
what brings everyone here
including himself
they stare and they ramble
out loud to themselves
and stare at him where he sits
his mind rambles on enough on it’s own
doesn’t need this nut house scenario
to pull further into the insanity
still can’t make them stop
one coughs so much
that he drinks store brand
tussin cough syrup straight from the bottle
another gives him a prayer card
as he tries to think it’s nearly
impossible spinning the web
and the smoke induced coughing
can’t be cured with the over the counter
store brand cough syrup
he needs something stronger
who is he talking to…
