‘Group Therapy’

Our spines snap to fit
industrial chairs arranged
in a circle. Clones with
holes in our brains
mismaid on production lines
that shape polite society

The cookie cutter sliced
holes in our brains that we
stuffed with booze and grease and pus
until it dribbled out our ears.

We’re here to piece together
jigsaw daydreams to
plug the holes in our brains
with affirmations and morphine
like duct-tape over heartache

The roof leaks. Droplets
burrow under our hair
through the holes in our brains,
leaking down our cheeks.

Sometimes holes in our brains

are our only release.
