Epitomes of Existential Crisis (Past the Recommended Rate)

Hyperventilating

Because my lungs function on preset parameters

Tachycardic in two weeks time

Lost all sensation in my fingers except one

but more concerned about memory deficits

which I’m not gonna divulge to my therapist

bleeding into an assessment for another assessment

past any diagnosis

past any treatment plan and prescription meds

Society failed me

long before I failed myself

Got a whole trunk full of nothing

crammed on my backseat

that’s a metaphor/analogy for my mood swings

which are entirely normal

when you’ve endured instead of dying

and there’s not a single thing wrong

except the place where I live now

is infested with digital addicts

day-old percolated coffee

and a side order of fresh maggots

The kind they use in wound treatment

And I’d feel much much better off

not to ingest anything for awhile

Let my body reset

Descend from altitude fight or flight

'Til I just find the night light

using my trusted right sight

No longer invested

in medical interference

the sun shimmers through my dreams

Thank you for reading what fell outta my brain today!

Sometimes it's gory, truly excretory, but more than half the time hunky-dory. And I am 'over the moon' that someone like you stopped by to read it at all so...I am WOWing you in my mind, you awesome mortal you!

Wowsers!
