People take benzos
Drink alcohol smoke weed
To bring down a panic
Whose origin remains vague
Flickers in & out of the system
A rising a fluttering a wind
Benzos alcohol weed
Rearrange thoughts
Interrupt a chaos ritual
Whirring swiftly
Like a night insect
And place a gauzy calm
Between you & the world
Between you & that part of you
That prepares the ground
For the winged creature's eggs
That you must unearth
Name speak to befriend
Or bid farewell one day
(thank you to Carlos Monsivais for the phrase "ritual del caos")
