The Benefits of Being Neurotic

The benefits of being neurotic

The broken glass on repeat
A selfish gene slipping through the blood stream
All the strangest points coming to a headache
A wandering curse sent by a historically insignificant human
to harm or cause pain in some capacity
All these things
like a tightrope in mid air
and a tightrope walker in mid air
without feet
the benefits of being neurotic

Everything remembers you
The way you remember the first dark hallway
The burst of lightning between your legs
The air you angered with your molecules
The gasoline you got in your eyes
The fish that broke the line
Everything remembers you
by the scent of the air leaving your body
and the skin coming off your skin
