---myparacetamol---
by duchess paraluman
the chaos of the streets
was put in order in my mind
the complexity of a woman's dialogue
was made plain
by my brain
the answer to your every querry
was gained
through my mental calculations
the theory of infinite uncertainty
was explained
thanks to my intelligence
the art of rocket science
was attained
by my genius
and now
all weight of the world
is bourn by my head
the pain throbs,
i feel my nerves
inflame
blood rushes
fastly through the vessel lane
it beats harder
it beats my thoughts harder too
am i about to crash?
i put my fingers on my temple
stroke my hair by the other hand
(i want to pull my hair off)
i feel this part of me
near its tragic end
it nears explosion
it nears destruction
it nears redemption
it nears You
and now
i need You
to reboot my system
my nervous system
recharge the nuerons
regenerate the nerve tracts
restore the functions
of my overused brain
You cease the confusion,
ease the pain.
let me drink You
and let me slow
down and let go
of such anxiety, vertigo
be normal, thorough-
ly repaired, undo
the damage, ego
restored--no
its gone, too
and what's left is You.
