i'm speculating all kinds of things and they cross my mind

a whole flurry of emotions

and which ones will i grab on to?

i'm looking at photos of my bedside table

and i look at the xanax and think

i need someone who accepts that i like these

and a rolled dollar bill and i don't want another addict

i said i'd never do it

but i wonder, just wonder,

would it make me feel at home??


and i want someone who drinks

but not an alcholic

but what if i'm an alcholic?

can they keep up with me?


what will i be unwrapping

when i finally get to grasping

the human form and skin and body 

of someone who's been just a projection

floating in my head?


flashing flashing flashing

slides

what's it feel like

when they come to life?
