Straight Jacket
Remove this straight jacket
and this mask and I will
tell you truths
you need only to
ask.
Hee Hee I made a rhyme above
You see…there are many things I can
do with this tongue if you will
just release me.
It’s hard to dance in this get up
It’s hard to rightly look you in the eye.
I can’t even wipe the drool from my mouth
as it slips to my chin.
I sit in my padded room all day and look out a
caged window at grounds dead because
it hasn’t rained in weeks.
All I ask for is conversation…
Just a smidgeon.
Just a wee bit.
I am NOT crazy.
I was sent hear by mistake,
a mix up.
The paper- works all wrong…wrong…wrong
Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong
Is it time?
Here comes the little paper cup up up up.
Aah my pills
My Pals
I call the red one teensy and the green
an ass….But I pop them in all the same
So the fear…the fear…the bad…oh the bad
Let it stop humming in my ear
Let it stop….I grab…and I grab if I had a pencil
I’d stab into my ear so I couldn’t hear
Stab, Stab, Stab, Stab…
and this mask and I will
tell you truths
you need only to
