Brain maniacally pedaling the veledrome
of cyclothymia and I can’t stop writing
about the women keeping me up at night
but only in my dreams and calculations
of the tells I think I see across the table
as my second adolescence wobbles
onto the track obsessed with his Big Wheel
roaring to run away with the circus with-
out ending up in Blue Angel clown face
Clown Face
