Clanging

By Tony Colatruglio

Someone has planted strange seeds in poor Doug’s head. Won’t you help him pour them out? Worse, he sees things that aren’t there. (Un)fair? A switch has been flipped in his brain. Poor Doug is firmly in a schizophrenic phase, and his speech is ever affected. It’s no easy task—mask?—that he bears, with his disordered speech in breach of logic, reason, and reality. Listen to him tell his story in a voice uniquely his...frizz gee whiz.

So much to say, so little the time; but live fictive worlds in winged rhymes.

Az I was closing the gates at fi5e,

I saw a womany who was not yet ali5e

Telling me how she had survived.

She wasn’t ali5e again 2day

az I was closing the gates 2 her grave.

Oh, how I wish she’d come out 2 play.

We could dance and sing and put on a little play

That we would, could, should call Oh Lonely is the Grave.

I.

I am Doug the Bug just az I’m also Doug the Rug,

and I’m in dire need of a huggy hug hug.

But u don’t have 2 if u don’t want 2.
