Institution
Phone number gouged in my hand
Throbs dully as afternoon shadows twist
To writhe and leer at me from secretive corners
Lying listlessly in my cell, occasionally clenching my
Eyelids tightly against the accusing hum of the flourescents sparking
Red white stars fireworks flashes of a keen blade
Ragged edges of the numbers pulsing and blood
Blossoming like new roses on a snowfield of gauze.
Let my head drop
Thumping sound on the cool vinyl floor
The efficient, large-bosomed orderly is coming soon, to pierce me
With her needle.
Jam it in! Deeper! Harder! Yes!!
I am a wriggling toad pinned to a sterile board.
Smile to myself as the thorazine take hold and
I fade to black punching your number
Punching your number...
Punching you numb...
Dialing you...
Die...
-Frank H. Weeden

When you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.

Thanks.... Just an image that came to mind, of some guy that had gone crazy and carved the phone number of someone into the back of his hand...
I've been told that I have a weird personality.
If people don't like this personality, I have a few others...

Well darn... Looks like I'll have to work harder at being universally despised.
