What exactly have I become Wait, I was or was not ever something or else this A futile semantic retrace or two
1
You've gone and found yourself
Lost in Wonderland.
Isn't it grand?
Its only half as imaginary
Just maybe
Two times as scary
Than what we'd planned.
Smell the forest and the sea
Run your toes through the sand
Feels real, at least to me.
You've only got
yourself to blame
if things get out of hand.

angry with someone
for doing something
I would likely do myself
is given to a strange aspect
a stray bears teeth
at those who pass
vision changes
and appears
a fog
an object
a distance off
is felt
restless
in my own city
entirely
I am an addict
as I see myself
the addict finds again
the streets of his own city
a city which perhaps
he
I
have allowed
to decay
isolated and quiet
the streets
are an easy home
the addict prefers
the night to the day
the light of the sun is cold
at night the humidity and
character of the air
are felt by the throat
the sidewalk
offers less resistance
