Clutter in my mental gutter
the backpressure finally builds up
and comes crashing over the vinyl walls
meant to keep everything in working order
but this diluge is too much for restraint
too many summers and too many falls
of leaves and decayed mental matter
has gathered in mt house of usher
and now the maddness is growing
louder than any crow of Poe
or rattling bars of yellow wallpaper cages
Somewhere a man is praying
and Leviathan is laughing
laughing at the absurdness of the world
the depth of the oceans darkness
and the shimmer of decadent moonlight
refracting like diamonds on its oil slicked surface
I discovered recently that the fuzzy floor
which I had for so long now been rubbing my toes on
was actually an accumulation of dirty socks and hairballs
pretending to be a rug for the sack of discordant playfulness
but i can't really feel too upset about it
as I suspect I would have done the same in their place
although I am sure I would have eaten at least a few
of the books left on the floor like snacks for floor snakes
sliding amongst the dark cracks and folded paper gaps
But now that the shine of the waxed wood floor
has been restored in all of its glory
i see the dark shadows creeping back and forth
across the floor of my moonlight room
and i wonder if they were always there
hiding between the books and dirty socks
plotting a silent coup against academic pretensions
and theoretical investigations into the essence of sense
or the sense of the se or the e of y-e-s like si
