The Potency of Lithium
Where are you
Black, blue, red sky?
Beautiful chaos?
Where are the colors?
Vibrant greens?
The rapturous blues?
The violent reds?
The unbearable blacks?
All I see is a dull brown.
Where is the genius?
The Mozart?
The Einstein?
The drunk?
That blade of grass? –
That everything I was at that moment?
Who am I now?
Where are my thoughts?
Where is my voice?
Where are the jagged rocks?
The lush hilltops?
The dark valleys?
Why is my mind is a barren plain,
That I till with a toothpick?
My melted wax wings
Have brought me to earth
And I walk on two feet
As your God intended.
Now, I am human.
Happy now?
