Harm Reduction

by Sean Harrington

-I made my decision**

Sounds like an incision / a semi precise slice / an out patient procedure to help remove the indecision

/ takes away a pinch of my extra special tism

In home / in house / in holes / in patient / often in my own head / sometimes in bed tied down with threads / breakable / escapable / at least I’m not dead

Where do I begin / where was my in / insecurity / instability / insanity / inability / incapacitation / fascination / lack of sensation

Anything but indoctrination or incarceration

Is it better than nothing or kinda sorta like something /

A breeze / a bird occasionally a kind word / sometimes-somethings are better than nothings

I’m broken sometimes / often badly / sadly / I trudge through life / but sometimes /

I feel lite / like a kite / the pressure eases off / the resistance is just right /

It’s perfectly medium / perfectly peaceful / gleeful / I feel deeply but not completely / boxes don’t fit me neatly

If you spent the night / would you see me in a Mourning Dove ?
