C- Self-Inflicted Metaphysical Lobotomy

Self-Inflicted Metaphysical Lobotomy

I reached into the library of ancient genius
and pulled my hand out empty

I breathed in dust and coughed
my head puffed up with unused energy
hot air and steam

I screamed at the mirror behind the dust
seeing a skeletal figure with frightened eyes

I reached in again and found notes that had already been played
words that had already been spoken
pictures that had already been drawn
