Awake, I shake! Enslaved by a parade of bad-day dreamscapes:
Where ebony elephants hang on tiny tightropes by twisted trunks,
And wailing walruses waltz within reels of jeering jester's junk.
Odd-shaped ostriches oscillate in time to foul trouble's onslaught
Of demented demons daintily dancing to tunes of torment's insults.
AI void, crude humanoids, splatter fear's page with their enraged moods
That echo mothball musty, hairball dusty, cobweb-cornered courtrooms ,
Where speeches vented by vicious victims cry for vengeance
And judges scowl cruel lies aloud until the proud erupt in violence.
Grey-ghoulish offspring juries sing off-key curses that rouse the rubble,
Bursting bubbles of glee that float aloft freed from seas of roaring trouble.
Dare I dream the swift demise
of those who chose to avert their eyes
from my jumbled Rubik cube disguise?
Damned am I, emersed in my own stew of maniacal madness.
Dare I try to fly sorrow-stained skies of my self-contrived sadness?
Spare me with gratitude's grace and tear me from this imperfect place
Where horror's haze haunts inhumanely, this half-human born disgrace.
Here deep, the clever never dare to sleep, for fear that an unreality
Might crust their eyes behind the guise of a vain-wanton futility
And forever steer them blindly, unkindly into their egoic vanity.
Oh, take me pleasantly please into peaceful ease of slumber's silent sanity.
Shake me awake ! Save me from my plagued midnight poet's grave.
Lest I swallow.......
