Veritas In Abstracto
Translation: Reality from an abstract point of view (My High School Latin Teacher Would Have Been So Proud, Maybe)

Never intentions
are the remote residences of existence
that don’t validate distribution
of ‘Do not disturb’ signs
I’m guaranteed to find.
Impossible to explain.
Unlikely directions would be of any use
for a base of operations
where my longings seep under radar,
sulk in isolation of non-fulfillment.
Primordial emotions
the foundations of infrastructure
where results produced yesterday
is a mandate
but heightened pressure gets disguised
as gentle entreaty
(like I’ve got all day.)
Sometimes concentrations
at levels to defy assessment or measure
often catch at backs of throats,
squeeze resistant moisture
from bodily escape routes.
Fixate in presence,
skewer through chakras as colorful torments.
Seldom the same.
A blur of speed-variant excursions
bursting at seams without reference points.
No Google maps.
No GPS.
Longitude/latitude.
Gasps with patience pangs
complimentary that first go-round
then you’re on your own.
Didn’t bring a book?
Too bad.
Zero predictions on ETA
but prolly be a while.
Who’s to say,
when side-effects come courtesy of:
Always socialization.
Dammit.
Always.

Ugh, socialisation. Lol! Loved your poem!
Dear Di-Di ~ Speaking in 'Abstracts' probably this/maybe that - In my biz that is referred to as 'reasonable doubt' This only comes from my "Primordial Emotions" ~ Good Grief ! ~ You're Fun ! Jay
Rookie mistake. Always bring a book!
