Group Think
It sticks to grey matter
where a porous unmindfulness
sponges whatever absorbs.
It fills city bars, taxies, and continents
infecting all with an
unquestioning acceptance,
settled opinions’
one collective belief.
Restroom walls
reveal common urges.
Once while snorkeling
in the Mediterranean,
I surfaced only to find the waves
full of jellyfish.
They did not sting
but I felt translucent tentacles
downloading their wet thoughts
into my persona.
After their probing’s,
I heard the sunlight talking
directly to my skin,
It said:
don't trust the minds of jellyfish.
