I brushed my teeth

After morning meal

I used colorless language

To describe how I feel today

I recall a

Glimpse of the sun

High above me

Through the wire glass

I recall a

Time when I would run

Before they took

My reason away

Let me lie

Use my device

Of disguise

Let me lie still

I look at the wall

And practice my face of innocence

A knife from a nail

To measure my strength against

Again

I recall the

Sharp smell of gasoline

Burning brightly

Enlightening me

Now I'm stuck here

And I flip through magazines

In the waiting room

Of my memory
