Food Poisoning Inspired Poem

Banana-Rama

I found this poem I wrote last year. I had a massive case of food poisoning when it was written (and was not thinking properly). I think it turned out to be a pretty creepy poem/song thing and that is very dark.

I would love to hear people's thoughts on my little food poisoning triggered bout of creativeness.


All alone
While in my sleep
Monsters creep
From underneath

Crawling out
After me
I get up
But I cannot see

Are they real
Beneath my bed
Are they there
Or in my head

I don't know
Anymore
I don't care
Anymore

I try to
and fall asleep
To fight the evil
That is inside me

Death warmed over
Scrambling the sea
Under my covers
They are there
Cause I want to believe

I relate to this one. Any time I've eaten a kebab I've doubled over and painted Bosch-type hellish landscapes in words, for days afterwards. I haven't eaten a kebab for a couple of years now, but maybe I should, for the sake of art.

Thanks for putting this up!

Everytime I get seriously ill (esp. from food) I get very creative and begin to write gibberish, good gibberish

I know...I've been on a kick lately too...everything's just flying out of me one way or another I guess.

Thanks again...
