I woke up this morning and when I walked outside the air smelled fouler than foul
It damn near suffocated me;
I wish I was a fish so I could fill my nose with water
Water from a sewer would smell sweeter
But what shocked me more than the sudden change in atmosphere
Was that no one else seemed to notice at all
Deeply they breathed, large gulps they ingested
It passed through their noses and mouths undetected
And I thought, am I crazy? Or worse still,
Is the smell coming from inside of me? It must be,
But no one’s nose wrinkles when I walk by,
The stench doesn’t water a single eye.
Suddenly I think I don’t belong here anymore,
I should go to another planet and breathe mercury or sulphur
It smells as if the air should be brown, but actually
It looks clearer to me than it ever did before.

My mother is a mannequin
Beneath flourescent lights
Her pupils painted in, her arms
Outstretched, never to embrace
I the store should catch on fire,
And her body melt inito wax,
Still her eyes will stare into infinity
Where ignorance is bliss
To see her freeze and stare like that
Hurt as much as anything
Everthing he did
And she is not to be forgiven
I cannot be fooled
She walks and smiles and kisses now
But I know her from the dpt. store
Where they sold childhood

From the title i was expecting the usual "teenage angst" but you have some great lines of imagery in there as well as a good continuity w/in the passage. nicely done
