I SETTLE INTO A NEW MIND! IN A FLEA-BITTEN TUB RING PARADISE OF A QUEEN SIZE SUITE OF A WYNDHAM/MICROTEL/ECONO LODGE/RED ROOF INN/KNIGHTS INN/SUPER EIGHT/WHATEVER OUTSIDE RICHMOND, VIRGINIA
I CURLED UP AN OLD SHOWTIME SOFTCORE PORNO AND FLIPPED THROUGH MY PHONE FOR A FEW HOURS
PICKED UP A BAG OF SWEDISH FISH AND A FISTFUL OF CHOCOLATE COVERED CHERRIES AND A PACK OF MARLBORO NXT FOR THREE DOLLARS AND NINETY CENTS IN THE BODEGA BY THE WAFFLE HOUSE
I SPUN MY EYES OVER THE BEAUTIFUL FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS BLOOMING AND TESSELLATING IN THE STUCCO ON THE WALLS
ANYTHING, I FIGURED, TO KEEP MY MIND OFF THOSE GOOSEBUMPS THAT WERE RISING, AND SQUEAKING, AND CRACKING, AND QUACKING
AND THREATENING ANAPHYLAXIS AND ASPHYXIATION WITH EVERY SHARP INHALE THAT I TOOK
WITH THE THREAT OF STEVENS-JOHNSON SYNDROME BEHIND MY FLESH
AND I WATCHED AS MY SKIN CRAWLED UPWARDS TO FORM A FLESH NOOSE TO HANG ME FROM THE RAFTERS OF THAT PLACE I HAD FOUND MYSELF IN
AND I WATCHED AS MY EPIDERMIS TOOK ON THE SHAPE OF WHATEVER I FEARED THE MOST IN THAT MOMENT
AND I SAT THERE DOWN IN THAT FLY TRAP ASHTRAY CONTEMPLATING MY NEXT MOVE AND WEIGHING OUT THE PROS AND CONS OF EVERY LAST ROTTEN PULSE! IT WAS EITHER WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA, OR THE NEAREST HOSPITAL!
