Irrational Reality

The shrill sounds in the night surely came from My dream, or my sick psyche, I’m unsure. Whichever, I awoke pantomiming Sabbatical dreams after quarantine. I desperately needed to escape the unrelenting stress of concealing The label I hide on the wine bottle. I could leave the asylum anytime. At breakfast they wore sorrowful faces when They told me of the psycho cat’s demise. I wept walking along listening to Eerie boardwalk creaks near the white sand beach.

Does the Bell Jar ring for thee in this one Linda? Or is it just a poetic excercise? It's really good. Thanks...

Hi Jeff. Thanks for the read and feed. This was written for a Collaborate With Me Contest Sponsored by Kim Rodrigues. She supplied the lines in bold and built the scene around her lines. It was a fun exercise. I received and N/A in the contest. :)
