alone in her

bed, surrounded by

cacophonies of nightmares.

dreams elude her and

everything is black and black and grey.


"forget your name," they say.

"get out of bed and leave. never come back. use the

highway, get

in your car and drive.

just drive."


kicking away the sheets,

looking for

money, looking for

nothing, she stares

out her window.

people pass

quickly and she begins to wonder.


"roses may be red,

some violets may be blue, but

today there are no colors and

unless I leave, I will fade, too."

"verifying yourself,

watching your dying

xyst and how it has been diluted.

you see, now, how all your life has been

zonal in proportion to your increase of failures."
