something
began to whisper to me
at first
I was unnerved
for weeks I tried to ignore it
then one night
having woken in a cold sweat
I looked to the mirror
and saw my lips moving
and then the whispering was clear
and I knew what I had to do
and I guess that's how I got here
handcuffed to this chair with
one of those criminal profilers
I aspire to be
in my face
3 old applause
