happy images of a robust past gone awry
then psycho dereliction and blurriness
same old tragic-comic soap
an inverse truman show
have i gone too far from self
not the kind of person i used to be
light flighty and unencumbered
now i'm possessed
pulled by puppet strings
of a sadistic play master
a pantomime
with a strange heaviness of being.
