I dream of lithium
and lethargy
as a January
night sweats alone.
I burn gas off a sickness
like cynanide
born from a fever
festering always,
undone with a shrug.
So dawns the 50th anniversary
of the year of my birth,
yet still I get zits
and panic attacks
in this perpetual adolescence
grown oh so very old.
