Feeling Good Versus Feeling Food

Well, it's eldritch, talking with the Dead,
soon enough being the Dead,
being The Dead talking to The Dead,
I have to start capitalizing them
at some point. This is probably an Odyssey,
even if you do it in your living room,
your bathroom.

Was I really going to say poison?

You misunderstood me today
when I was talking about the flower
that is like a pink drum.

Yes, I said a pink drum.

Should I be worried?

Worried at presence?

Worried at absence?

No, not just in my poems.

In general.

It is a crazed notion
to suddenly feel food?

The therapist believes so.

But if one changes one letter,

it's perfectly fine.

You are sane.
