Pica

my dog ate my subtitle

By BrenPublished about a year ago 1 min read

i microdosed

plastic mini toast

and all it did

was remind me

and all it did

was well,

all it did

was make my mouth

go dry

my back teeth

were in drought

my throat

was a desert

cross that

off the list

i puffed

as i huffed

bunnies of dust

my lungs became

vacuum cleaner bags

i don't think

i shoulda

done that!

i don't think

i shoulda

done that!

hope i get recalled

i snorted a line

of pure Gravox

(home brand is a good brand)

well not quite pure

it had been cut,

jumped on,

stomped

with a coupla

teaspoons of cornflour,

if i keep my fluids up

and frequent

areas of abnormally

high allergen activity

i can sneeze gravy

TICK

i tried to smoke

my toe nail clippings

now i’m coughing

i’m retching

i’m spitting

i’m dribbling

and pissing my pants

there is

a really good chance

i probably won't

do that again

but

then

((realms of possibility)nothing)
