A poem that I wrote with an 103 degree fever

Maybe a Little Feverish

flash-flood flush
and maybe a sparkle
or two

they say i should be
worried about dehydration
but Rorschach spores
have already entered my
flaccid brain sac
so i think i have more pressing concerns

they have sprouted into
what some might interpret
to be various fungi
and i’m trying
to keep up
to uproot
these mushroom musings

before they overflow my pensive pails
wondering about wet dreams
& night sweats
& can we really save the
rainforest/whales/children?

they’re wandering about in a sorta floaty way
fucking and cursing god and freud and those
TV commercials for vaginal spray

they demand deodorant, however (spring fresh)
& boxes
to put in boxes
to put in boxes

i’m not sure why
but they keep sending me these
bizarre text messages

about
crappy performance art
about
Raggedy Anne
about
how i should have been using
my piggy bank all along
maybe they have a point
but I’m way to stubborn to admit it
& who are they to tell me what to do?

really, i’m serious
who are they?
