“I sank to the bottom
of the shower and down
the drain, put my mouth
around the copper pipes,
and held my breath. I twisted
the volume dial to the point
of bleeding ears and drove
and drove and
dove
into my disassociating mind (again)
while my chest vibrated in time
with the bass and I wished
to be warped around the base
of a tree.
I shuffle pages of textbooks
until my eyes go numb,
until the skin on my hands
are paper thin, until
my veins become fountain pens.”
