A Pill To Take

encapsulation deficit blues

By BrenPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

gotta stop posting comments

when i’m really stoned

my fingers disengage from my brain

and become a distinctly separate zone

and in this zone they conspire

to any set of given laws

im not embarrassed

i just wish there was a pill i could take

gotta stop hitting the socials

when i’m off my frickin guts

i’m not talking testicular fortitude

i’m saying balls nads agates or nuts

and deep within our pants

they provide that smell...

i’m not inconvenienced

i just wish there was a pill i could take

gotta stop spraffing digitally

when i may have had an edy

that line popped in at the speed of thought

[ENTER] i really wasn’t ready

and it was here that i saw myself

walking backwards so perfectly, so smoothly

i'm not stuck in a temporal time anomaly

i just wish there was a pill i could take

    This reminds me of some Tom Waitsian, Bukowski-inspired, beat poetry talkin' blues. Excellent work. And stay off the drugs! ;)
