Never Needed Lsd
Never needed LSD,
seeing things that could not be,
rejecting my own ESP,
I swim the Sea of Apathy,
traverse the Desert of Ennui,
emotions under lock and key,
internalize the wild banshee.
Toddler's rolled up dungarees,
bemuse the double-amputee,
heart bestrewn with life's debris,
none of us get off scotfree.
Handcuff life's evacuees,
so tender is Humanity.
