Which Asylum
I’m writing
because they’ll lock me up
if I only scream
if I only scream and never shut up
because they’ll lock me up
for inarticulate rage
if I only scream and never shut up
there’s a padded dark-cornered cage
for inarticulate rage
there’s no alphabet or transcript
there’s a padded dark-cornered cage
for people the world’s unzipped
there’s no alphabet or transcript
the true story’s curdled and congealed
for people the world’s unzipped
for those whose lips are sealed
the true story’s curdled and congealed
if I only scream
for those whose lips are sealed
I’m writing

I am in awe!
inarticulate rage
the true story is curdled and congealed
Punch in every line
Power to your pen!
