A Conversation By A Cool, Blue “Mind Pool” With A Reassuring Voice
During A Lull Within The Storm Of Psychosis… Before Getting Straight Back To It
by Paul Tristram / September 8th, 2024
… you threw-up the first time
didn’t you?
The ‘Smell’, right?
it’s not piss or shit
because it’s even there
when that hasn’t happened
… it’s more than Fear,
it’s absolute fucking Terror.
Did you hear a ‘Door’
SLAMMING shut… some
-where inside your psyche?
Yeah, yeah, that’s what I was
just gonna say… it’s that
‘Feeling’ that comes
right along with it…
I’ve never felt anything
like that… unnerved me
completely… I just knew,
you know, that I was Damned
… and that any ‘Future’ Sin
would simply be Superfluous…
