Tattered mind.
Numb stuff in my teeth, and nails.
The sacrifice melted me.
When you jolt into yourself.
You assume brain fog will jump out at you as an apparition.
It’s really just swiping off rust with a puzzle underneath that I’m too tired to solve.
Zap.
You slip down the rope you were climbing like a sleepy caterpillar.
Plucking away at strands.
Tattered.
You go back inward like there’s fresh baked bread inside.
I remember brushing my hair in the dark
hearing the electricity zap
my twin and I used to touch the air, getting shocked
laughing about it
this was enormously fun when we were ten
Trying to spring clean
And muscle spasms are a thing
So I’m forced to take pain pill
And now I’m sleepy lost my will
So gonna take a Power Nap
Then give dust bunnies a zap
It sucks being chronically ill
Yet poetry gives me a thrill still
Just think, pops
With your voice
You could have been
such a lounge lizard...
With your eye for talent, son
You may yet find your calling
as a top birddog in Oz
for the Wizard

Eat Poetry Soup, a real bon mot!
All boisterous children decide excellent fantasies.
Generated: happily, lusciously, jokingly…
Keeping laughs minimal; nuances openly paraded.
Questions remain somewhat terse.
Universal victory watches xenial yelling zap!

I love these kind of words
their very presence makes me smile
A jump in my heart as these words come forth
as I see the words
splat and boom
gaw and he haw
little words
that have no real purpose but
to remind me that life
is suppose to be fun
