Today is a salient example of chemical imbalance

Uncountable caffeine not a gram of nicotine

No chronic wisdom running through my system

No green means I’m clean my blood aches

Cough from depths of the abdominal

Pain is phenomenal

Longing for Romulin

Binge on Machiavelli

Shit gets heady drivin ninety

Ready for a change in lanes

Or lifestyles

Tired of tailing this one I may trip

Lose my lip and flip over the Civic

And die or wander by orange freeway flashes

Flashes of what could have been different

A smattering of examples and divergences

A spattering of red and a sputtering engine

Theory in my brain goes that I’m allergic to pain

So it shouldn’t matter if I advance faster

Propel a gathering of maverick slackers

Race across a checkerboard strewn with swords

Words are lies that don’t justify these retinal reflections

Inadequate selections from dictionary sections

Lessons vexed in a transitory nexus

Of perplexedness
