Hanging on to reason

Hanging on to reason,
By the tail feathers of doubt,
Peering down the drop,
Into the inside-out.
My feet; already falling,
My body; far behind,
Searching for the answer
That I dont expect to find.
Something in my skull
Is chewing on my brain,
Tastes quite good with ketchup,
And a sprinkling of pain.
In my arms theyre crawling,
Right beneath my skin,
Wriggling like worms
When you prod them with a pin.
Down I see the bottom,
Up I see the sky,
Mummy, daddy, save me,
I dont want to die.
I think my doubt-birds flying
For the fall is very long,
Not that Im complaining,
It just seems rather wrong.
Spitting out the chewing gum,
(Ive been chewing that all year),
Look; if we go fast enough,
Itll fly back past my ear.
What if I could let go,
But I think my nails are glued
Theyve been digging in so long
That theyll need to be removed.
Hanging on to reason,
By the tail feathers of doubt,
Peering down the drop,
Into the inside-out.
