Another implosion of stagnation
leads toward further deterioration.
Metallic trash inside your head
replicates itself and now there are two
of You hiding behind the trash.
But the first You has succumbed
to ferric oxidation of the psyche
and the second You is bent
against following suit and yearns
to become one with a garbage can.
Your mom is a hysterical burn barrel
with complications during delivery.
Her voice either sizzles at You
or takes You out.
in the poem "Retrogradation of You" by Juliet Cook and Daniel Snethen
