Poem: Akathisia

“Akathisia”

rocking back and forth,
i am compelled to
move, this inner
restlessness goading me
on, one of the fringe
benefits of the pills
i take, feeling a bit
like a madman from
a bad movie, i
simply cannot sit
still for very long,
taking another pill
to calm me and
bring stillness to
my weary body, pills,
pills and more pills

I wrote a play called The Pill People

it’s pretty funny

I blogged that SNL could have it if they give me commission.

It’s cool that you write plays. I remember you posting a lot of poetry on the old site but i wasn’t aware you wrote plays, too. I don’t think i could write anything that long. I’ve started books when i was manic but they fizzled out when the mania did.
