The Contagion of Pain
His typing machine
Makes a satisfying sound,
He tries to revisit something
That was lost and never found,
The things that likely cage
Are freed on the page,
Constructed and textured.
He has mastered the act
Of ignoring the disturbances,
Any kind of noise, vocals, yelp,
Or an immediate ask for help
Goes into the abyss of ignorance.
Bringing out his harsh past
Is his only preliminary
And predominant goal,
He tries to feed art
To the melancholic hole.
It'd perhaps bring him glory,
A fictional closure
To an incomplete reality,
But his screeching, caged-bird
Has a different story to tell,
A torment that wouldn't easily sell;
Years long ask for freedom
That goes ignored every time,
He ain't all expression-less,
He alarms that he isn't fine.
His tweets aren't fully absurd,
All he wants is to be a bird.
