atmosphere

Reentry is killing me I will be
vaporized in a crater. Angry hurt people.
Coming apart finally indulging admitting
facing something outside of martyr insanity

insanity

        Cannot decide if the potential for
insanity in the human mind in my mind is
expressly limited or absolutely infinite. 

        Allow hurt to happen here allow
anger to dine remember old anger poems bad
but real excited her because it was
finally something real won't feel bad
about missing it about feeling cheated
trapped

wanting to make peace

        Where is it going is never known
that is crazy in the most beautiful way
(sick ironic way) will be able to write
about anything as long as nothing happens
thank god for nothing it keeps away the
empty somewhere where the language is
foreign

no effort is required

        Can anything be done with asphalt
plastic concrete the central nervous
system. Afraid to write misery the line in
front is so long and identical

animals live better unsupervised that is
the difference

        Cut off another severed by choice
but pleading still. Part is there too. A
perfectly shaped charge waiting to
implode. The heat of the sky rushing past
relentlessly tears layers away

we miss you never knew wish never knew
hate suddenly allowed

        Most sincere apologies to those
caught in the blast.
