A Toast to Anxiety
In the museum of my mind
I keep your shadow glued to a wall
Labeled 'Her Great Disaster
There's a disc in the radio
Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring
I thought life was a game
So I looked up cheat codes
And pocketed monopoly money
Now I'm lost
Like remotes in a sofa
Physically fine but mentally disabled
Inhibited by my emotional remotion
Twice chewed thoughts like a cow with the cud
Don't descend into madness
Rise up to meet it
I shed the old me like a sweater
Cereal stains on the sleeve
Raise your glass
A toast to anxiety
Thanks for making it weird
