Never Mind the Grey Matter

Creativity held hostage a procession of tables and chairs flesh experimental blood filled residential captive thoughts bottled lightning wax statues that breathe grains of sand watch the hourglass suspicious trench coats is it raining outside again? invasive questions shifty eyes lab coats the pale legion of sun starved lab-rats sad faces no tomorrow ant farm candidates Never mind morale, it's results that matter echoes from the director's door the hyenas turn and laugh the show starts the circus tent opens nurse and orderly smile armed with presto pills illness and disease disappear patent pending trademarked hope Still--- I am not convinced There is much you haven't said outline and tell the story become an accessible road map not healthy, normal or sane without written approval want to be well, don't you? make progress show your degree of commitment truly be committed too cold in here? another layer of strait-jacket isn't that much better? choose where to begin, I'm listening--- with anxious ear and restless pen sit down, sit down there is much to discuss all the time in the world you have an extended stay the rest--- depends on you.
