PASSIONS INFLAMED
I WRITHE IN BED UNABLE TO SLEEP...
NICOTINE CRAVINGS BOTH URGENT AND FLEETING
YOKE THE OXEN OF HYPOMANIA TO BIG TOBACCO'S BIGGEST SCAM
ASH BECKONS EMBERS GLOW
FLAME EXPLODES AND FLIES LIKE LIGHTNING...
I CRAVE THE RELEASE THAT FIRE SEDUCES
BUT KNOW MY BOUNDARIES ARE POROUS OR WORSE...
TOUCHED BY FIRE BABY--
KAY JAMISON SAID IT BEST...
BUT PLAYING WITH FIRE
PUTS THE MEDS TO THE TEST
I AM A BRITTLE DRY WOOD
STEEPED IN ACETONE
AND IF THE SMOKE DOESN'T KILL ME
KARMA SCREAMS AND MOANS...
IMAGINATION IGNITED
IMAGE COMES AND GOES--
MANIC DREAMS ARE ELUSIVE
BUT DEPRESSION IS COLD...
A MEDITATION ON POWER
A MEDITATION ON SANE--
A CELEBRATION OF FIRE
CRAVING EXPLOSIVE FAME...
THIS POEM IS SCATTERED I KNOW
BUT ITS A HYPOMANIC'S BEST STAB AT INSIGHT UNDER FIRE
