A Place Where—
(I eat, I sleep, I shit, I write, I listen, I talk,
I drink, I smoke, I burn myself, I feel,
I see, I sleep, I cry, I close my eyes,
I open my eyes, I bite my tongue,
I gnash my teeth, I unthink,
I hold your hands, I take photographs,
I laugh maniacally, I wash my face,
I stare at the ceiling, I bleed,
I puke, I run as fast as I can,
I write nonsense, I pet my dog,
I pet your dog, I paint,
I cook dinner, I cook lunch,
I jump in fear, I dance for joy,
I overeat, I forget, I remember,
I swim, I gasp for breath, I try to live, I drown
I think of you, I think of death,
I stop moving, I become a dog,
I become a god,
I cut my skin, I lie to myself,
I bullshit, I tell the truth,
I bore myself, I tire myself
I talk to ghosts, or I am at rest)
I felt I’m home.
