"Fanciful Delusions of Abstract Reality"

 

by Jeph Johnson

 

I was set to introduce the world my high regard 
Instead I muttered slightly passive cries from its backyard 
Granted requests for cursory fantasies come true 
Never filled the void developed when severed from you 
Confused disorder in my everyday activities 
Vices clamped so tightly I can't reclaim dignity 
They say my craze of wanderlust betrays as they conform, 
Logic seems ridiculous; absurdity the norm 
My thoughts no longer pattern themselves after intelligence 
I'm astonished when someone comprehends a little bit
Like some drug discreetly dropped into my coffee cup; 
Life tastes bitter, foul aromas eliminate my luck
