Lie still

I brushed my teeth
After morning meal
I used colorless language
To describe how I feel today

I recall a
Glimpse of the sun
High above me
Through the wire glass

I recall a
Time when I would run
Before they took
My reason away

Let me lie
Use my device
Of disguise
Let me lie still

I look at the wall
And practice my face of innocence
A knife from a nail
To measure my strength against
Again

I recall the
Sharp smell of gasoline
Burning brightly
Enlightening me

Now I'm stuck here
And I flip through magazines
In the waiting room
Of my memory
