Analysis of Cabbage eyed
The white pokadots on the multicolored quilt.
Lay in disarray on my comfortable bed.
Purples, pinks and teals striped in criss-crosses.
Keep swirling in my head.
The biggest thing on my fried, filled mind.
Is the night of carnage when I was a little kid.
Swirling, rolling , like waves.
These thoughts of total ravage.
As I am writing
I am in pain.
My eyes feel like cabbage
My head is so swollen that I can barely live.
