It’s that smile — It’s that smile that really scares me As the eyes splay out In abysses of unfeeling malaise Like dark black vacuums That plunge you depths of Inhuman torpor.   It is a being That consumes wine but does not get drunk, Shoveling shelves of panic On to your sun,   It […]

The well dressed man Came along And suggested That I was wasting my energy Doing things that weren’t going to pay off in the long run, Doing things that didn’t make sense, He had an electronic notebook In his imaginary pocket and You Might Say He Had all the answers as I traipsed by him […]

But it was last Friday, a week ago today, that I quit my job during a panic attack, attempting to talk with masked customers under a boisterous, crowded din, and all the basketball games got cancelled. I think they’d already slated the NCAA’s to be played in gyms […]
