WHERE DID I GO WRONG?
Folder:
BUT DAD, HE'S A POET
Where did I go wrong?
What have I done
to earn this sorry state?
To deserve this wretched plight
of un-American decay?
Faltering into Planet Earth
with drums unsynced
and my mind in a panic
heart thumping like a beast
nervously darting eyes
with peripheral vision failing
voices dubbed over soundtracks
in computerized layers
fossilized dreams solidify
into viscous nightmare realms
all the while trees grow
and dense plant life multiplies
in sacred trust of wilderness
and I not knowing it
not getting to grasp
all the ins and outs, tos and fros
etc just following the path
of divine intervention
which still hasn’t done me well
still has left me stranded
in this sorrowful state of mind
