Raphium Series~Jack & Jim

 
cloudy vision clears
when anger obeys the red seas part
the promise of peace--  
is a sword cutting through the shit
 
nurse ratchet announces--
medication time, medication time
and I find myself in line tapping my foot to her sedate music
the kind that crawls up your spine
 
yes, Jack's been a good boy today
dementia...living lobotomized
where's my mountain-sized Indian?
let's just bust out of this place
no...I guess there are no happy endings for us
 
I flew over the cuckoo's nest
the rest is his' story  
and on and on it goes
 
until we wake up and realize this shit is really happening
premonition or something much deeper
a plan...perhaps
where's the writer of these mad libs so I can kick his ass?
 
so here we go into another day of it
madness spreading faster than HIV
don't bother me the Raphiums are at play
and a Mother couldn't be prouder
