Am I happy
One part of my brain asks another
Let me check it replies
It sorts through something
I Endeavor to maintain
And never admit to or name

Having run some calculation
And come up with a sum

I say myself with a good
Or bad hum

For the interval just passed
you were gassed

I am in this design
in time
feathery
ethereal
feral
glad
squirming against
my imagination's
ya'll

I'm in this envelope
of time
30 seconds bang
and here I go again

Rea
Once again I discover
that I am trying to render
myself unconscious
with a palliative device

this is the downhill side
of my chair's revolution now
ninety degrees to the left
and I'm on top of the world
Dennis Willis Aug 2022
I never hear anything
until much later
like years much later
why is that
I'm listening
Dennis Willis Aug 2022
Leave this alone
indelibly burned
onto the fragile
crystalline film
of my pride
