Things can get so spacious;
I don't feel a swelling
in my chest- just a blankness
in my skull; spilling out
from the hole I've poked
to pull out all these thoughts
for a constant and unendurable
analysis of analysis of analysis.

Don't worry about jumping;
(you won't anyway)
and when you do, you really
are only finally landing.

It's come to this: I really
don't even see the use
                   of happiness.

I choose solitude:
A warm blanket and cocoa
while her friends are over
and I sit in the corner
as they talk; and I am
present, in my barriers
of cotton polyster blend-
but I can't say a word,
anymore. I can't remember
any of the magic ones.

-e.
