problematic

i want to walk
the limited road
of my sleep
i want to confront
its many sinister hands
its eyes are open now
i'll work around this
i'm invisible in the city
honestly i don't think
that anyone wants
to be uncomfortable
or do you
this is my time now
to taste her rattling legs
blessed and undressed
staring up at a divine white
of ceiling
that spends
everything else
shamelessly
this is my time now
to be disjointed
to cast spells
this is my time now
when no one else
can touch it
this is my time now
the cat spooks by
sounding cellularly
this is my time now
in the fall
jack-o-lantern my eyes
because i want to light up
like real life
when the candle's dropped in
smile wide a smile
that'll stick
all toothy
this is my time now
to lay the foundation
of familiarity
i want to walk
the limited roads
of my i don't want
to sleep again

i want to confront
the many hands at any cost
else i shrivel without
unseen unheard of
