Stimulants

Doctor! Doctor! Please help me find the locus, Of anything I see, Between my peripheral lack of focus, My favorite cheese is brie. Fill my script for amphetamines, For my mind cannot see the rhyme, Nor reason in anything that I've seen, For I'm trapped behind, inside another time. Locked in repeated stimulation, Of prior thoughts I've already had, Instead of being freed by participation, In what the present has to to add. So doctor, doctor! Please help me find the locus, Of anything I see, Between my peripheral lack of focus, Hey, what's that up in the tree?

You know I think the most important part of poetry now that I'm thinking linear is that when commenting. Sincerity and honesty are everything. Furthermore, say something. Be human. Fuck me. Have you read I live with Zombies. You probably did. It's non-fiction by the way. That passage of the Emma, That was pretty much the extent of a 20 year marriage of fueled toxicity. And I hate conflict.

Wow! Speechless. That's me. holy shit. No wonder you can relate to mine. Wow, you have a lot o poems and cool titles. I'm impressed. You knocked that one out. It would figure out of all your poems look at what I picked. I need to come down. 10 and 11 are right on. In fact I'm there, or is it here-probably both.We should collaborate. You could teach me something, I'm not sure if I could teach you anything. But I have other talents, most of the time. Ha,ha.

THanks, Mark! I really appreciate the input. I really enjoyed your poems and I can tell we’ve had similar experiences, which make for some good writing ;). A collab would be really cool!
