Steve Mann Poem - The Recusant

 

Steve Mann

world mental-health - a tribute

 …two tablets, four times a day with a glass of water,
and make sure that he takes them..

bubbling cortex
  ascending mind
crackling meninx
  flashing thoughts
Damoclean overload

chop yer ears off
fry yer eyes
trepan yer deviance

 …precisely, he must undergo a course of electro-convulsive therapy,
that is exactly what I mean…

genius unborn
  lifeless heart
persona void
  homeless spirit
Pyrrhic suicide

number completion, sir
riddle acceptance, sir
answer unravelling, sir

 …of course, a full requiem mass is what would be right,
he certainly needs it…
