sometimes I feel sad.
sometimes I feel the kerosene burning at the bottom of my skull.
I want to let it slide down my spine.
I imagine it flowing through my muscles.
I feel them tense and pull themselves apart.
I fight back, imagining myself becoming stronger, becoming harder.
then when the pain goes away, and everything feels lighter.
The kerosene still burns at the bottom of my brain.
I cant bring myself to smother the burning.

Oh my, did someone drill a hole in your head and pour kerosene in it? If so, we can use you as a lamp. Did you know....kerosene has been used to treat pools of standing water to prevent mosquitoes from breeding, notably in the yellow fever outbreak of 1905 in New Orleans. It can also be used to remove lice from hair, but this practice is painful and potentially very dangerous. Also, this would wash out all natural oil & fats from the hair and scalp.
Mmmm, no more kerosene in your head.

PS I love you.
