Hallucination

What’s all this noise —

Tinnitus, thoughts
Worries tangled with hopes
Fears chasing desires
Judgements humming
Expectations rising
Forebodings climbing

All this chaos —
This mental storm
The physical clatter

Perceptions flickering —
Shapes, forms
Spilling in, cluttering
Warping focus
In and out —

Like an uncalled-for
Absurd dream —

Fuck this racket
And mind —
