The dryer of my mind

My energy was restless

under the sheets

when I was supposed to be listening

to the quiet menageri

I grinded my teeth

right down to where everything is naked and still

and still

you haunt me

like a lost

lost

bill

circling the realms of the dryer

of my mind.

Passion and bite

Sometimes it is not a superiority complex,

It is an aspiration complex.
