MENDICINO
(if i rub my most shocking memories together,will the sparks cast enough light to illuminate my problems?)
Phsycoanalytical Wizards
shaking fingers of air in my face,
asking wastebasket questions
prying with vinyl eyes,simmonized smiles
Their neon notes flash
"abnormal behavior",
They give me pills,(in the name of
Science and Mental Health),
i swallow the pills
and the pills swallow me
prying into the dead past,
searching through the graves
of everything that cannot stay buried.
i found my strength while
trudging through my weakness

| Very powerful. This reminds me so much of Sylvia Plath, but this has more kick to it--more power and less illusion. I love it. |
