I'm under fire,
below cloud negative nine.
Your doobie-ous smoke
floods my sinuses
and my nasal cavities,
like stomach acid.
Like silverfish eggs,
you lay in wait to lay waste
and burrow schisms
in exhausted minds.
Most probable impostor,
despairingly mine.
Your thrips infest me—
a plague of my creation.
Like prickly slime,
you've climbed through my ear
to shuttle down my sore throat.
As you do, each time,
you implant like rice
inside fight or flight's furrows.
Your maggots plumpen;
and every grub shall cocoon
into copies of you,
all just as toxic.
In a slouched mosey,
I'll wander through dazy days,
no thump in my chest.
Much like a monarch,
I can't stand to look at you,
lest I net my death.
And like with the man
who glares in through my window,
I'll pretend you'd left.
