Realizations and Translations

Somewhere between here, blase and tomorrow's derangement, lost the plot in a moment of coherent clarity, 'twas quite a peculiar notion unsettling predicament of knowing one's own psyche, silently questioned the absolute mindfulness, hardly sure whether to heed or trust abstruse insomuch as the validity mid concise advice of internal voiced concepts shanghaiing neurons, haranguing harbingers hung on haphazardly 'til giving up on any possibility of sensibilities' solution, acquired a migraine trying to comprehend saneness, there's a mental jolting, dash of disappointment mid virtual realizations and literal translations of who and what we are [realistically] as opposed to 'who we think we are' fallen into rabbit hole madness, "I don't think we're in Kansas anymore"...

One pill makes you smaller and one pill makes you large. What a twisted winding path you weave with this one Paloma. The only insanity in poetry is poetry and that is about the sanest thing I can say right now. Off with their heads!

Great one Paloma, I enjoy your style of writing. As long as we stay down the rabbit hole we'll all be OK. Ha. /|\

Good idea, disoriented and deranged is poetically perfect. :) Thanks so much Rick.

Ha - Seeker always says much better what I would clumsily spew out. This was brilliant and I'm not sure how I missed it earlier. I was especially fond of the following snippet: "shanghaiing neurons, haranguing harbingers hung on haphazardly" - you should lemme borrow the shanghaiing neurons line, it's kick a$$
