At one stage, when I was at uni, I thought I might get into Psychology. It took me just one year to work out everyone else in my class was a nut-job.
I was fascinated by the case-studies about the extreme delusions some people have under the influence of certain drugs. Some would inadvertently end up committing suicide.
Mmmmm… Promise I’ll have something lighter for you on Monday morning. Peace out.

Bugs crawl under the skin
I slash at them
With knives that slice
Skin away from skin
And skin away from flesh.
Until I sit
Crying
in a bath of blood:
My blood:
Blood infested with bugs
That crawl out
Scurry in haste
To bother someone else
(1989)
