THOUGHTS
The thoughts that gnaw on my brain
were born out of debt. I don’t want
to go up in smoke. I never believed
in the American dream. If it exists,
it does not exist for me. Those who
came up with that name, with that phrase,
must have had their heads in the clouds.
I worry about every day things, such
as if I will get to eat. The thoughts
that gnaw on my brain feel like dogs
from hell sent to devour me whole.
