It's very quiet.....I can hardly here you*
I want you to speak up, otherwise... I may just start believing
your not real.
It's raised concerns with certain others, & they don't understand.
They've given me pills to take..............you away,
what do you think of that-?
".............................................."
I thought so,
I heard you laugh as I had fun in an anti-clockwise motion
watching them swim through the plumbing...
pills can't swim in a porcelain throat.
I need you to stay inside when 'their' around, do you understand?
"......................................................................... ............................."
of course i'm not ashamed of you, its just.......I think their all crazy.

....darkly neurotic and a little cuckoo's nest.ian. ..i keep thinking of 'they' as mulitple voices in a head, almost as if theya re the pills taking themselves [does that make me crazy???]. .. rather than society, drs, etc, control. ..and the 'you' as lover, the 'you' as alter.ego, the 'you' as every nuance of what you need to keep inside your.self. this is a sideways look through a daily glass. more of this please, easy for me to swallow ;]

"pills can't swim in a porcelain throat."..I feel like chuckling a little myself...so I'm a bit demented but aren't we all a bit crazy? I enjoyed this.
