losing words

is like losing my voice
then my breath
and i shrink as the poison spreads

i cry
by the toilet
since when have public restroom stalls
become my
sanc.tuary?

learn not to care, learn how to be numb
puffing smoke and snorting snow
drink that last drop of sweat
that youve rightfully earned

stop and question- look for an answer, an explanation
i am caught in a web of contradictions
without a spider to devour me
nothing to stop the clock
