Core
October 14, 1992
it ��s loud outside it ��s loud inside
all I can hear is what I think
each sound inside me a distraction
like a dozen most important moments
each clamoring from where I am
I can ��t avoid the noise somehow
so loud in here inside my head
someone keeps playing important moments
marching bands and durance
I can ��t get away from what I think
I think I ��m breathing ��
so strange to be concerned
that opening one ��s mouth might pour sound
in a dozen simultaneous words
they tell me of cycles, joy and depression
I see no such thing, a centrifuge subdivided
music for the band
outside I am balanced amid noise and chaos
whirl carefully content, oscillation restrained
holding on to this smiling face inside cracked uncrying
unfooled by the spurious act, balance mediation
depression is not a cycle for me
it ��s sadness untamed, a dozen expressions of need
crowding out my pores, tenants taking their belongings
they call it disease, that I spin it down
purify and lamentation, recession in mental commonplace
and a dozen words unspoken
and I can grieve
eventually I will see some moment for true joy
one word that is a dozen mitered down
until, accept, limited semblance redaction
and I let none touch it, make this audience not me
needing no drugs to make me happy
when the word comes, world of reason
happy will be
