Flummoxed
It is a sad thing the familiarity—
With the startle,
Déj* vu,
Then the scramble to get oneself,
Parked, safe,
Prepared for anything,
Then suddenly it has come and gone..
Without the courtesy of a kiss.
Exhaustion washes over,
The moment after the first gasp of breath..
Assessments begin—
where am I,
Who am I,
What am I,
And then it starts:
Where was that last thought..
Thought viscosity increases,
Diminishing disproportionately,
Extinguishing resolve covertly,
Incinerates ability indiscriminately,
Blandishes deceitfully my mind from me,
Decrepitude from assault,
Impending reef impalement,
Follows pending decimation,
Entanglement neuronically,
Synapse trapped evocatively.
All betwixt instantaneity,
Remembered the implications,
Wrote of its dilapidations,
Decidedly unconvincingly,
By depiction decryption rendition.
No, really.
