trying to shake off
this shitty shroud
this thing
that hangs on me
and claws at me
like a worn out shriek
from a sore throat
trying to shake off
this mood
just trying to break free
this latest encompassing bout
of lethargy
caught between not caring
and not giving a fuck
approaching the edge
but the brakes are dodgy
anything is liable to happen
anything that can possibly go wrong
will
that'd be nice for a change
who do i see to arrange
i know it may seem strange
but it was cleverly deranged
i was drinking and driving
not paying attention
and got pulled over
in a state i can tell you
i said you'd better test me for drugs as well
and they did
i passed
no kidding
they got me for stuff they didn't even have
"how are you able to drive on pcp and crack?"
they asked and i replied
"huh drive what?"
tested in the red
i’m shakin in my head
i got done for everything they said
and i blew
.

!
just proving that even stupid is better
than being depressed
and it doesn't have to make sense
or mean anything,
it just is
and my mood
has now
elevated
somewhat.

Rachel Reviews: The Spiral Archive by Pieter Hendrik
It's difficult for me to know where to start with a review of this book as it was, for me, an entirely unique experience and one that I'll probably never have again. I don't want that to be interpreted as unenjoyable but it has left me scratching my head a little and ruminating on its content, its themes and its characters.

Love it, always so evocative!
"...like a worn out shriek from a sore throat..." I love the image and sound this invokes. Well done, though damn! That's a high number 😅. You're okay though, right?
