Banal

Yummy leaves of jute

Ice cream allergies

Surprise ad lib parties

With chuddy buddies

Evening of parental advice

Roots

Vodka

And carrom

Sudden downpours

Anointing

The buzzing return

At the smoke shop

Picking up

The hollering

A few pages

Before this dose of oblivion

Sunday night.

White noise

Madness

Dementia

The schizoid

Rage of a disintegrating

Mind

Carnal carnival

Whirlwinds of plastic

And the

Disintegrating leaves

Of books

No one

Nowhere

Will read again

Melting synapses

Heralding

The slow onset

Of

Dementia

Slow, screeching fan\

(Rusty ball bearings)

Swatting

Ineffectually

At rising heat

Pulsing

Manic

Midnight music

Wafting in

Through comatose domestic windows
