im working on it

im working on it

A Poem by Everett Dulin

abscess again, and again
i flail about, spitting and crying
putrid, rotting, splitting
at the base of my spine

with my neural plate birth
a repulsive infection formed
vile and vapid, slurring and pussing
caking, crystallizing my spine

"can you tell me what thats like?"

well uh,
my joints, um, my muscles
lock up sometimes
and i do things, i feel things

this infection, it-
it splits me apart
one minute im well, well me
the other, im just playing the part

im sorry, im um not, 
im not really feeling like myself
