I, the disease



where is my body where is my body where is my body where is my body where is my body
my mind has misplaced it.
there is no connection
to this dirt beneath my feet
the ghastly grinning faces,
their garish white teeth.
where am I amongst them?

these limbs will not move as per request
these lips will not curve into the smile
that lights up the room
these hips only point in the downward direction

down.
down.
buried
soon enough


i am a disease,
i am a disease

the repetition is my brain
stuttering.

i do not know who is my friend
or foe

i do not know.
