I’m enthusiastically solipsistic
I’m quick to say, “Sorry, I missed it.”
I’m an introverted panenhenic mystic
I’m twisted, conflicted, unscripted
I’m an uncommitted, sick kid, as predicted
I’ve been called a dipshit
Cuz I don’t buy the hip shit
My mind just flips shit
Into a guilt trip
For not exercising self-censorship
My brain has a hair trigger, pistol grip
100 road trips with only 1 roach clip
I care too much about the fellowship
Of man
But goddamn
Let’s devise a plan
To save our land, air and water
I know we can, if we care about sons and
Daughters
I’m a panster not a plotter
Life’s my alma mater
I matriculated from The Illustrated Man
As anticipated it integrated a sense of
Who I am
It originated my articulated defense of
Where I stand
A denigrated, insulated, and incensed
Peter Pan
Second star to the right and straight on till
Morning to get to Neverland
I don’t do drugs cuz I’m already a downer
I look where I live and feel like an
Out-of-towner
I’m about to get up
Time to wrap this shit up
Here…pass around this tip cup
I know I’m one sick pup
I never wanted to grow up
I’m just happy to show up
Yup. Glad you did 🙂

Thanks, Diana! I was trying to show the 15 year old that I got mad skillz at dropping fire bars! 😂
He’s really good at memorizing the rap songs that are out there, but I keep trying to get him to write his own. 🙂

I adore the language but especially the cadence Erich! It was such a pleasure to read out loud to myself. You have been missed.

Thank you, Christine! I was surprised at how much I got into and enjoyed writing it! 🙂
I’ve missed everyone here, as well. Sometimes I let me or life get the better of me and the cold makes the extremities shut down, so the core stays warm. A sort of emotional hypothermia. I’m warm now ❤️
