Silence, Night

Silence, Night.
I've had enough
of your bawling,
you floozy, you
red and green
plasticine whore.
Contort and gurn
till you go blue,
yowl and spit
until you fit,
filibuster, sue,
you crazy bitch
I'll gag your craw
to get some rest —
look at what
your carelessness
has pushed me to.

Even in dreams
your nitwit babble
filters through
to scrape and bend
my blackboard mind.
Your sirens and screams
belch from machines
inside my dynamo.
I jerk in circles as
from the window
you cackle and lash
my reveries with reams
of ululating din.
