i
am
crazy
i was born in diana’s tide
with a caul over my third eye
and my umbilical cord around my neck
i was wet
like the forests of the hesperides
i inhaled and swallowed neptune’s froth
drunk with his children, i envisioned our love
underwater
an octopus crowning your head
we became one
i am touched in the head
i grew to the age of twenty-one
in as many seconds
ejaculating myself from the tide pool,
i exhaled and created you
one sliver of my thoughts yielded you
this is why i own you
i must be psycho
because i followed my visions of sameness
and conquered my fears to be with
me
you are me
because you are crazy
if we were to join, we would not cancel
