ALIENATED AFRAID OF FURNITURE IN BEDROOM
by Brandon Scott Gorrell
i am on the easy chair in the living room looking at the mirror by the fireplace
i have drank the bottle of wine
the mirror reflects the room at an angle. it shows the ceiling and the poster and the chandelier
inside the mirror i am seeing the water hitting my face and my eyes that are squeezing shut and my mouth that is drinking the hot water
and i know my face will stretch into something fantastic
and now i am seeing myself destroy the king-size bed in the sea of gray laptop computers with my claws and reeling fists
and my shirt is off and i am skinny and i am yelling between sobs
and i am typing this sentence when should i stop typing it i will stop typing the sentence
