HELL IS A BIPOLAR DYSTOPIA . . .
Written over the course of 35 years, this gritty, bizarre poetry, prose, and storytelling will have you questioning reality and the nature of sanity. Here you'll find haunting portrayals of mania, psychotic episodes, and depression. Read evocative tales of life-changing events, brief stories of supernatural nightmares, and dozens of pages of some of the strangest subjects ever addressed in poetry!
From page 58-59:
"Fighting off Madness"
Worthless
like a single shoe abandoned on the side of the road
Pointless
like waiting for roses to grow out of concrete
Useless
like opening car doors for ghosts
Hopeless
like expecting cats to start caring about anything that doesn't benefit them
Reckless
like voices careening through vacuums
Aimless
like shadows dissolving in darkness
Monotonous
like washing dishes each day
Repetitive
like washing dishes each day
Ridiculous
like gravity taking a day off
Exhausting
like trying to stand still on a treadmill
Annoying
like when the voices won't agree with each other
Exhilarating
like finding your name on an NSA watch list
Upsetting
like flushing your drugs
Disastrous
like leaving your fingerprints at the scene
Difficult
like finding new places to safely stash bodies
Frustrating
like improvising when the store's out of rat poison
Challenging
like evading an entire police squad
Infuriating
like getting sprayed in the eyes with mace
In vain
like pleading your case when you're caught in the act
Depressing
like pressing your fingers in ink
Fighting off madness is worse than you think.
