w a lk away
by dan newth
my mind plays games when
stress triggers the flow .
of subconscious childhood fears
not something I control
best I can do is mitigate
Replacement Drug
by Rachel D
Red embers flare, fall
White smoke dissipates to air .
Relaxes, distracts
I just walk away
away from situations
away front possessions
away from opportunities
away from relationships
it’s too much to fight
I never learned physical
my bluff just brings more trouble
my mind’s not deft enough
for subtleties of argument
One Hand Claps
by Michael
doctor y give me pills
some make me paranoid
nsa and the homeland crew
monitoring me while hipsters harass
some pills sedate, rotting my
liver for a slow painful death
what I want is quick and quiet
A thought crosses your mind-
A journey.
Through space and time.
As surely as the Moon speaks
To the tides of the sea.
You and I are no more, no less,
Important than a star, a tree.
Some of this and yet none of
that is for you.
All and of that and so much more
of this is for us.
God, Eternity.
Things of faith.
Love.
The one true truth.
In this and that you can trust.
so again I walk away
from modern medicine
from pharmaceutical products
using me to turn a profit
on the streets where I sleep
someone calls; policeman wake me
but I don’t argue; I walk away.
try to find a new sleep place .
but my mind gets rattled
and sleep gets exclusive
then the voices start whispering
can’t tell what they say at first
critical tones turn to sharp accusations
they talk to each other about me
"nèver'tomérasif I were shunned
like fundamentalist shun the outcast
kurt cobain has “friends in his head”
I have the committee that hates dan
only they’re not in my head
they don’t tell me what to do
they just wake shit up and condemn
pretend a swat team is coming
to terminate me

each time I believe and fear
a thousand imminent deaths
I just want the quick quiet one
because how do I walk away
from my own mind
