TO THE SUPERSTITIOUS
AND AFRAID

words fell
from out of your face

they

told me epilepsy was caused
by demonic possession

even mentioned the Salem witches
who were only victims

words fell
from out of your face

they

splattered me against the barrier
erected by society

then seemed to lose their potency
as I meditated

re-formed themselves into a vision
of a world without stigma

I

took possession of this possibility
committed to memory

it

will return to nullify your mythology
when actuality rules
