Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Free verse

Notes About The Poem

- Insulation Is Almost Trouble-Free -

    I feel emotionally flat
    the experience is very stressful
    No flooding or concentration
    Acute, which is more persistent
    Maybe therapy and skills training
    - some will need it just for safety
    I crank my headphones up to deafening level
    - shuts off all sick thoughts

    The silence gradually becomes unbearable
    Along the way, I experienced that
    the parachute did not work satisfactorily
    If only God could give me a clear sign
    Saturn's rings exist exclusively
    of missing aircraft luggage
    I think everything is predetermined
    Hope is foolproof
    I cut the cucumber slices like hearts

Judy Ball July 30, 2020 at 2:04 PM This one made me smile. Reminds me of something I said once. My mother had told me when I was young to try to FIIINND MYSELF. (Didn't know I was lost) This is a fun read and the pic is so clever.
