release

Siphon off my tank

Gum up the works

Leave a trail of slime

Clogging the fresh air

Take what's yours

What's mine, and maybe your neighbor's too

Talk too much,

Shouting diarrhea out the window

At anything passing by

Until these birds are watching

Keeping tabs on the crazy

Stung by bees repeatedly

Over and over

Until the poison makes your eyes roll back in your head

Until your teeth are chattering and numb

I break my own fist

To release the pain

Into sweeping adrenaline

Thunderstorm thoughts

Transcending weak illusions

Disappearing volcano

Hardened beneath the sea
