they assault me in
my dreams grinning
disjointed sneers
yawping chasms
causing
claustrophobic
paranoia
possession
in summary
distorted
screams and
inexcusable modes of
shrieking tunnel vision
dead ideologies and
existential dilemmas
squat bodied visions
of ancient identities
non-reality husks
pose little
threat to
a cracked
dream system
— SCOTT C. HOLSTAD
