They ask me why do I write?
I really don't have an answer for that,
'it's me not you', says the dæmon
in my brain
He likes Prozac - - loves it,
His hunger is insatiable - - he can chew
Prozac and Venlafaxine and Esctilopram,
and sleeps only when he gets some
Clonazepam...
He writes verses, some are stupid
and some even more - - imbecile like
moron.
He makes me see things like a vivid HD
dream in a foreign language without
subtitles - - I don't understand them,
but the images stay with me
- - the image of a violent scream in darkness,
another image of a vagabound chasing
a mirage in night at a salt desert
- - the vagabond sees the sky with the
stars coming together to form the face
of a decapitated baby making a chuckle
What? Lo! The language is yonder the
horizon of the black, rotten blood ocean,
where the sun is shaped like a
minator
and there's Oedipus - - in the shape of
a cat, without eyes - - tears of fresh blood,
And Antigone has snake hairs,
while the human in me is coiled up
like a snake again,
trying to digest the rotten rat's bones
inside its belly
And then there's always that one room
- - there's no room for light or air or anything human
in it,
except a voice - a voice that tells me -
'Be a poet on Prozac, take your liberties
with anything and everything,
the meanings will be
lost between the lines,
and you will metamorphose into
the dæmon that's inside you'
Ars Prozatica,
not worth a shot of tequila or sensible
arguments - - it's just the dæmon in
my head,
trying to crack open my skull like a
coconut - -
Only from inside......
