Seemingly Strange

by Joe Dickinson

 

 

You’ve become and idiot

     one of the mess, the herd

the stroke catastrophe

wading into the waters of the night

as if a love of life

     was not on your menu

but instead

     was your rite of passage

            your meal of choice

with blood stained eyes you stare at me

as if i have lost my way

or said something so

horrible

     as to offend

     and offput

the very vices that society

     has

     offered me.

without sound

     i move to the

     light of the moon

            and change the diapers

            of dreary daisy’s

            dysfunctional daughter.
