The End of Infinity

sometimes, my mind is a chalkboard

equations and plot twists scrawled messily, lined with

font names and artless doodles.


sometimes, my mind is a warehouse

stuffed to the brim and overflowing with boxes,

everything compartmentalized. 

i am the victim of cruel logic.


sometimes, my mind is a galaxy,

constellation thoughts and nebulous daydreams,

twisting and swirling together,

circling my darkest emotions

until you can't tell where fantasy begins and reality ends.


most days, my mind is a shapeshifter,

always stealing other peoples' forms.


the boy eagle,

the girl typewriter;

the victim canyon

(decorated, of course,

with cave art),

and the parent made of arctic wasteland


i haven't yet figured out what i am.

have you?
