THE BOOK OF TORN UP SUICIDE NOTES EXTRACT
Q
Dinner queue in the psych ward
I’m stuck between 2 Jesuses
I can see they’re both contemplating
feeding the 5 thousand by doing a
miracle of multiplication with the
rubbery macaroni cheese
A schizophrenic soul abuses
any god that is listening
The catatonic philosophises
with empty words
The anorexic looks down her
nose at us for indulging in
the depravity of sustenance
Why am I here?
Reality, sanity is a book of
lies, I’ve lost my page
I’ve become celestially illiterate
Because I know the ending – no
happily ever after
just lonely death
following
a life
that is just a queue
waiting, waiting
for the
madness to end
