Ilya Shambat Poet Iambic Pentameter

Lost Mind

	I lost my mind today -

		 Oh boy -

	 and all the thoughts I had

 	just seemed to vanish

 	 in the haze

 	surrounding my head


	It seemed so wise -

 			so potent -

		so infinitely dull -

	complete with thought, effete with pomp

			emblazoned on its skull.


			An ounce of heart

	a pound of spleen

			a smattering of phlegm

	A bit of code

				a bunch of will

	And a thick soup of memes:


		All this was all mixed

 			and cut to bits

		A chewy marble blend

		From which I built

 		A vague relief

		Of life that I intend:


			Where has it gone, do tell me?

		Where is my upscale mind?

				I look without,

		I look within,

		But nothing can I find.

			It seems the mind has melted	

		And I must build anew

		Today's mind-melded structure

		With but a quart of glue.
