Charon's Trick

Questions hover about me
like fear and loathing bats
and all I can do is go through them
eyeballs quivering...
daemons, delusions and angels
dancing on the pin-prick point 
of my ball-room nerves-
as I take my hundredth ride 
in Charon's revolving wooden boat-
oh, the charmed and cursed life
of a 21st century ghost
