Poem: 'cold analysis'

 by Megan Ampim





hands are warm in intention

not in appearance

closely guarded in the courtroom

analysis is

intense

intrusive, unwelcome

the descriptions arrive at mine.

i don’t move.


i’d like the master key

i am locked from the inside

the access is dilute

my understanding is weak

the pictures are obsessive

the sound is heavy


the logic is based on the

surroundings. we are society.

i wake up and expect to be 

timed

watched.

i stroll through paranoia

i wait.


‘the mind is in 

need of a renovation.’

scaffolding. metal with

no heat

it’s tiring, you

know

i’ll do it later

i’ll do 

it later.

blue digits, the motivation

not the observation
