There Must Be Something Normal About Me

CEE

I’ve known a couple cutters
Don’t know if self-slit’s still in vogue
Don’t get the idea of
Physical pain distracts from emotional
The gut-thing, the existential
Sartre and his “fear and trembling”
Inner soul howl
Is muted by genuine Gillette Blue Blade
OUCH plus here comes the blood
Yeah, it would probably definitely
Distract
But            hurt as suffering?
Shaking sadness of aloneness
On your knees in perceived Chaos
Is abyss-worse than sharp steel
Ripping your flesh(?)

I guess my enemies are right
I guess I’m emotionally dead
My hot gut stew of There Is Nothing
Is feast of num-nums,
Stubbing my toe or banging my elbow
Is soul-shrieking screamfest
