poetry by j matthew waters

out of my mind


blame it on faulty wiring
the red one in the black socket
& vice versa
the white wire left ungrounded
all causing a slow smoldering of sorts
like a hot cigarette ash
accidentally dropped inside a couch
gradually deteriorating the inner workings
eventually causing me to be completely
out of my mind





september two thousand twenty-three
