Virginia State Epileptic Colony

They sit around tables rendered dumb

Coloured sticks of chalk are passed around

Today the doctors allow the illusion of choice

Tomorrow the necks split, there is no voice



Draw a perfect circle, sleep foetus-like

Six chalk colours the very meaning of life

They wake to strobes and half circled light

confusion lifts with potassium percolate



V-S-E-C piggy

Piggy piggy

Piggy piggy



Clean - cooking - flower-arranging

Dissolves a kind of liberation
