afternoonish 

sepsis-induced hallucination 

upmc passavant 

just drink this coffee
you might die,
but at least you are drinking this coffee
also trump might win
and we are ALL GONNA DIE
all the small parts; the
embroidered lightning bolted fabric that
your grandma sent from Germany
once she ascertained the meaning of
“BURN THIS SHIT”
tiny miracles,
will die.

There are so many different sets of hands I need to
hold and everyone wants theirs to be last and
I can’t get it I don’t want it
In the end,
there will be my hands,
covering my ears,
and this is all

and what if there were an outpouring
of voices from different directions, atmospheres
or wind or branches, shattered glass careening
through the paths of ancient writers/
magistrates and pirates/chinese gymnasts/rancid
thieves and Brian Eno.
LEAVE – they scream
NOTHING NEW IS GOING ON
LEAVE (again)
THEY’VE NOTHING NEW TO SHOW YOU
