shooting myself out of a cannon


i'm coming apart
bursting at the seams
feeling the tension
knotting and sucking
and writhing and tangling
and squeezing
the air
out
of my black lungs
screaming in my head
in dizzying keys
i have things to say
skeletons to face
to let out
to spill to the floor
because there's so little room
left
to suppress
any more of it
one man can only take so much
bursting at the seams
desperately wanting to shoot myself out of a cannon
