(POEM) A Swarm by Zelda Bean

A Swarm

The ducks are here 

and I speak to them

in my head.

A swarm. 

People feed them bread.

I have a cornucopia of delusions.

Too much of one thing

can be overwhelming.

The right abundance

can be beautiful.

This delusional life is no beauty.

I am not one to be silent. 

Not one to swallow pain. 

I know I am in a coma. 

When can I wake up?

When money rains from the heavens?

I need this heart to feel no pain.

It is a whole day.

And I am dazed.

Feeling something so sublime.

When does time know it’s time?

When I know not to talk to ducks.
