Sylvia Plath

My veins
as crowded as yours
arteries choked
and a takeaway heart.
 
Maddening blood rush
slices the shore
and fishermen in
calm seas drown.
 
Like you, I
wait for clots
to road block
my highway of sense
 
that turns blindly
to the precipice of mediocrity
where humans await
their turns to die.
 
I can jump the line
but without a trace
to get caught
like you.
