This Is Your Mind On Rhyme
Only the silica freeze, separates
In see-through reprieve, me from outside day.
That being most fortunate indeed,
Being an honest concede, me talking this way.
Under my own self-citizen's arrest,
As myself I've come to detest, requiring quarantine.
Caught up in illogical loop-de-loops,
Of demonic rhyming hoops, left me reeling in lean.
They're calling it a poet's dementia,
Endless oratory of mind in absentia, as you can see.
Like the brain has busted a grommet,
Releasing perpetual verbal vomit, God Help Me!
