the diet
I sneak
Wendy
into my
bedroom
after our
sugar-beers
the bouquet
in my house
grows sickly

wendy’s
Solipsism in the Universe of the Solipsist
my body is at war against my mind
the soldiers are pleased
they feed at a nearby Wendy’s
if my body the inherited god was a temple
it is no longer
and if I am the only existence I believe in
the war is warring against the concept of self
antibodies against anti-bodies
from one end of the universe
to the other
I am
I am no longer
