moving picture shows


screw drowning in an obsession
that isn't even my own

my intermission started
five months ago
and
although you're all fidgeting
in your seats

waiting for the lights to come back on

the curtain has caught fire
and while you're searching for one of those
popcorn-selling ushers
the director is screaming something about
technical difficulties,

I have quietly vacated the premises,
and maybe it's just my exorbitant love of
parenthesis
but

(when the demons accumulate
I get the fuck out of dodge
so

what did you expect)
___________
 A.  why do I always feel like I need to escape something? and
B.  Why am I always delayed for years and years?

screw you scholarship.  I wouldn't even be in college if it weren't for you.
