If only it were so simple
As sleeping it off
Cerebral dust
Manifests a behemoth
Like a jackrabbit under the bed

I am warned by artifice
Neglect to marry my delusions
If they were so
I would be so pleasant again

Offer no pity to this dream
Do you seek etching of this horror
Trial herring doused in sparks
None shall pass
So it is

Loneliness empowers
