I am irrelevant

- irrelevant -

From the age of five to eighteen,
I was taking medicine

- was taking medicine -

They called it Dexedrine.

It made every
element
of my essence
feel like excrement.

A repellent pushing electrons like
exotic matter
until they pulled out
plasma guns to
dislodge my atoms.

Tossed and scattered
Like slop to fatten hogs,
the scrap in
direct offence
to the Higgs Boson data.

My particles can't participate,
because every article I articulate
is stopped
harder than foreigners
flocking to a far-right ministate.

Coagulated consciousness.

Confess that I've conjured this;
by the first definition in Oxford,
the second in Merriam.

Adolescent infatuation.

Needed abonnement and initiation.
The accomplishment still received indignation.

I. SIMPLY. COULD NOT. WIN.

One moment I'm on stage being praised,
The next, rage and fists coming close to my face.

I'm just not in their best interest.
They'll move on with other candidates.

I later learned my election
came before every progenitor's erection.

Early on, I wouldn't stand for it.
The crucible was a crux.
Crushed under foot and they put a nail in them.
I said,

"SO?!"

β€œSarah put her nails in the back of my hand;
you've got two holes, I've got four!"

Someone told me, β€œThe violent take it by force.”
Or fourths, the math forged itself into my theorems.
The probability compelled me.
I was told by twenty-one I would be a statistic.
I am not ribbing, I am not rhyming, I am not rhythmi–

I'm sorry. I did it again.

Maybe the reader wants to write me off.
That's perfectly fine. I've found my AUTHOR.
