Exhibit A

Mike Brennan

Examine your own rage
& I will taste the marrow of mine
& will perceive the fallacies of your blame
Clearly curdled through chancy embraces
As the words you love to censor
Find voice through my midnight whispers
& discover anesthesia
In your hilarious situations
As an escape tunnel from the Shang-hi of your indifference
& as a route straight West- to
My one healer- My one great gasping sea

Where I have figured the numerical lack of nerve in my speech
With vicious drums still guiding my tongue far past the soul & mind
Causing enigmatic anti-truths to burn me in effigy
Leaving ashes of sorrow to replicate innocence
& realized apologizes left deserved to all.

My sick & armored vanities
I wish to forever down play & beg for
Their disposal, like a body, dismembered
In the dead of night.

In the sweaty depths of
An ocean
A forest
A leisurely dream
Turned to waking nightmare

Incased in-between such a harsher dream

To suddenly awake
As a mere capsule of
One simplified being
