running from myself
by Tim Alexander
when i started this,
it was beautiful.
it was freeing and
joyous.
the way my fingers danced
across the keys, clack, clack, clack
echoing down and out
like a midnight symphony
ascending from the night
but along the way,
something happened
and the fire ants in my head
devour the lines
faster than my fingers can dance.
so slowly but with dead certainty
my mind shrunk, shrunk, shrunk
and was, instead, replaced
with a looming ego
and the echo of the click, clack, clack
can still be heard
but my fingers
they are no longer dancing,
they
are
running.
