Mind Contortionist Poem by Wendy Bureau

Silent asylum
Straight jacket security
Mind warp wrapping
Of white wall purity

Medicated medley
Screams are that of song
Locked windowless doors
Hide way to what is wrong

Twisted churning tricks
Strapped to stretcher beds
Buckled and snuggled
Constricting, strapping threads

Playground of personality
Merry-go-round pleasure
Teeter totter tempting
Hum harmonic measure

A weaving of wonder
Braided of tight twist
Straight jacket security
Mind contortionist
