Tribal Scream 2010 Janet Kuypers (poetry converted to prose)     I know what goes on in your head. I know all those characters you’ve created. I know all the Hell in your past... I know the mishmash of everything crammed into your head.     and I know a part of that is killing you, and I want you to let it out. I want you to just open your mouth and let out a tribal never ending scream. because I know you. I know you’ve got too much life in you. I know you’ve got a carbonated soul... and I know that one good scream would let you pop the top of you, like a bottle of Coke-a-cola. bubbles of compressed air would be coming out of your mouth in your tribal scream.     I wonder what characters you would spill out. I wonder what you would do when you saw what you rejected; what you screamed out.     I wonder if you’d see parts of your past.     I wonder if you’d know they were a part of you, and try to stuff them back in.
