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
