It's Finally dark now

I tried to drown myself today

but the ocean spit me out,

waking up on a beach caressed by shallow waves.



Two thirteen year old girls in pink swimsuits

found me.



...



I tried to hang myself from the rafters once,

but the roof buckled above me,

and I fell and spilt the last beer

of the last beer bottle

on the coffe table.



In the ward where I woke up

there were hush notes of keeping me in,

one said that I was clearly ill.

When I woke up again I drank the detergent

in the bottle next to me,

but it only made it worse.



Passing out

I dreamt of rusting rollercoasters

and a white room with velvet lights

where a one armed midget

banged his head against the wall

murmuring,

let me out,

LET ME OUT!



Rustling sounds woke me up that night,

"I've lost track of time"

said a man in the dark,

"it's been a long ride,

but,

It's finally dark now,

it's finally dark now".

Then the all the lights were turned on

above me,

"breathe, breathe!"

some man screamed

and bones cracked, under a whistling tune,

like rats being stepped on.



The man was burly and ugly

in that flourescent light.

Dying on that hospital bed,

he had shat himself,

and it dripped

to the floor.
