Alienated

Sometimes I feel everyone else

is from another planet how I got

here who knows I talk to them

and their words refer to things

but how they move about in  their

lives and take it all for granted

floors me.

Granted it took forty years to see

and I'm not saying my sight is clearer

than Jesus but anyone who would read

this would know there's something fishy

going on plain as day watching "the folks"

get off the Northwestern line at the Chicago

terminal for example the grey stream of

faceless flesh thought bound into the 

trough of the day.

I'm sad not angry if I'm going to have

an emotion is that progress worked it out

via meditation traffic accidents and 

pharmacopoeia wouldn't you if you saw the

paradox we're all in as good a cosmic joke

as I could have asked for none of us did you

have your own puzzle to grok good luck.
