Reaction to a snack of substances my digestion <br />rejects as banned has me staring at this screen <br />in stupefaction - unable to interpret anything <br /> <br />Floating in an emotional void, clinging to the fact <br />I’m in an office, trying to read and react to texts <br />that remain mysterious to me, at least this way <br /> <br />The world will still be a mystery; I cannot achieve <br />mastery of anything while consciousness flickers <br />on and off, caught in the wild fire of interrupted <br /> <br />Brain circuitry & gyrating synapses, dark spots <br />in front of my eyes weakening my sight, desperately <br />trying to do research till I give up, sit back in defeat, <br /> <br />Power spent, admit the day is lost, cannot find the <br />beginning of a line of thought, cannot follow a single <br />argument, even pictures dance away from me, <br /> <br />surrendering to the confusion, accepting the <br />chaos in my mind as status quo…<br /><br />Margaret Alice Second<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/status-quo-revised/
