We’re Manic.

by Ezra Vancil


We’re Manic.

  Depression?
Still in question
        Not for me
My mother knows, I sleep, in shoes
dirty clothes
with lithium
    bottles
          strewn

I chain myself
in working
          panic

She’s Manic

She talks at speed
   too fast for 
   God’s 
   Prayer to read 
Excited, beyond 
the force - Indeed

we’re manic

I mean
compulsively free
