Mr. Fahrenheit

Arman Hoque 1977 (Winnipeg)



Mr. Fahrenheit


I’ve got a fever, maybe a couple of degrees;
My brain starts to swell, intensifies what it sees.
My mind starts racing, my mouth starts moving,
My feet start pacing; My anchor I’m losing.


I’m getting high on reality,
A unique probability.
I talk when I’m scared,
Nervous  or prepared.

I’m going on at a million miles per hour;
I’ll suck life’s lemon till sweet turns to sour.
Call me Mr. Fahrenheit;
The Irish call this shite.

Perplexed is the train with no track to ride;
reflected is the line of thought caught in a stream.
One voice among many,  yearning to scream.
I’m a million degrees; burning up inside.

I’ll walk the walk and talk the talk,
I’ll always be ready for the fight…
Just call me Mr. Fahrenheit.
