Again

I don't know my ceiling
too well 6:16 I
try to sleep
and decide maybe air
will help.
I leave the blinds open
so I can be sure there
is actually a world
outside of mine,
but once I lay back down
my eyeballs feel peeled open
and my eyelashes feel shaved off.
My ears won't stop ringing and all
I can think about are the cars
vrooming by sporadically,
brimming with comman man on
his way to manual labor.
My mind has been making the leaves
rustle again and over again
I'm manic again.
My heart races
and nothing I do will slow
it's pulse, and it makes me
always silent and hot,
never sweating,
only hissing, baking,
I feel my heartbeat in my tongue.
I'm so afraid of a face
smashing into my window,
pounding the plastic pane
with a palm,
and falling backwards
to supine death.
so afraid that I'll see it,
I can't go near the window
to close the blinds,
I can't shut out the layman
and the navy velvet night time.
I'm so afraid anxious nervous raw.
Manic again. 
I saw a commercial about this.
Manic like the song
I heard at the golf course when I
didn't know the words, the
golfcourse with you.  I sang along anyways,
I'm just like my father,
silently cracking up.
He always was manic,
I'm only manic now.
Help me, make my ears stop ringing.
I thought I was her, I cannot
tell apart our hands any longer.
6:16 again why is my
clock moving backwards?
