Uranium-238
Alice Taddei
Sensory deprivation
Floating in dark water
Blind and deaf
Exposed to radiation
Contemplating how time expands
I’m lost in empty dismay and yet I slowly decay
I’m my own poison
My mind pollution
I’m torn to the core
Soaked in chemicals
Basking in toxic waters
Brain keeps running
Body stays still
I’m listening
I’m one no more, I freeze
Shrinking in my skin and slowing down ‘till time is still
I’m my own poison
My mind pollution
I’m torn to the core
