Symptomatic Episodes

Today
It was getting caught
By a traffic light
The last
In a series of
Perceived slights
From inanimate objects
Causing waves
Of white hot blood
To crash inside
A fire bombed skull
Blurred vision
Beyond the point
Of recognizing
The reflected
Twisted
Shaking countenance
Turned to one side
As if attempting
To dislodge
This malignant tumor
And let it drain
From one ear
