i spend my day with thoughts
                                                   wading                                                  
                                                                swimming                                                            
DROWNING
in this shallow pool of mine

i'd spill them on a page
if not for the
                     abstract                    
                                  confused                                  
DISILLUSIONED
nature of each sudden
passing burst of intelligence

and my deluded mind has made this conclusion
of its own accord;
it cannot go on in this manner
and so is shutting down
