All in Your Mind

All in Your Mind

if it's all 
in your mind
then lay yourself
on the steel tracks
before a roaring
locomotive
if you want
to live

if it's all
in your mind
don't bother to love
or even care
in order to 
feel

if it's all
in your mind
don't bother to think
don't even bother
to feel
since nothing
inside
or outside
the mind
is real

disregard
stop signs
and stop lights
and the cries
of a starving infant
since they exist
only
in your mind

if it's all 
in your mind
then fuck & fight
anyone
anywhere
anytime
as recklessly
and ruthlessly
as if 
you're high as fuck
on angel dust

wear
a living
hornet's nest
for a hat
since the agony
and the stings
swelling your face
exist
only
in your mind

so go ahead
and eat
some rat poison
or lye
or murder
a decrepit
defenseless
neighbor
since it's all
in your mind

if it's all
in your mind
then 
never mind
the tingle
from sensuality
in your cock
balls
nipples
or pussy

hell's bells
since it's all
in your mind
anyway
you might as well
discard
by blade or atrophy
those nagging organs
of arousal
and pesky sensations
that too often
lead you astray

never mind
any of it
never mind
anything
since
as the poets
philosophers
shamans
and other shysters
like to say,
"it's all
in your mind."

never mind
all those things
the uncivilized
and sensually
illiterate
regard
as real
since you 
being sophisticated
and learned
understand
it's all
in their
ignorantly
immature
minds
