Memory Replay

melting thoughts

memory vomit

moments never felt

conversations forgotten

pounding

at my ear

clouding me

from seeing clear

Stop! I command

seconds pass

the talking stick

is ripped from my hand

hear,

I pray

see,

I say

but listen

I do

and look

only at you

I’m cold

there’s a start

my hands are numb

I feel my heart

bursting out my chest

subtle mania

fills the air

I must beware

who is to blame,

for their foul stench

kids not knowing how to play

torment me in obnoxious ways

scared to look up

and meet their gaze

I wonder now

if this too

is a memory

I will replay
