Q For Some Reason (Free verse) by MacFrantic
I scratched by head today
It's not that it itched, I just
did.
No relief came from the act,
no satisfaction.
I just scratched by head.
Just as any other normal person would do
on any other normal day.
But
it felt so alien to be
clawing at my head like that.
Then again, how AM I supposed to do so.
Rake at my face I mean.
Itâs not like I was hurting myself
I just scratched that area to the left
of the top of my forehead.
Not a deep scratch, more of a light
Tickle.
Now thatâs not the right word, is it?
It wasnât funny or stimulating to the point
that I would call it a tickle.
Well it doesnât matter anyway
Because Iâm running low on pills
Those little gray kind that are supposed
To keep me from worrying
About trivial things.
I guess theyâve stopped working.
But at least my head has stopped not itching.
