Needle Room

My friend says he's carried the voice from the womb
Like an irritating dog at a child's ear
Verbals in a bottle on a beach
Telling him
In a determined tone
To bring it all crashing down
To demolish what it's in his path

This is what he told me with a needle hanging from his arm
As limp as his long hair
Me and him
Prism eyes
Stalking this hooded room
Unable to find the door
