Floating in Space (#10)
BONUS POEM:
Life is crazy beautiful, dude.
Jinkies, Scoob, at last we’ve like solved
this cerebral-istic mystery! All this time, turns out
it be my ego, the one lurking beneath the mask
of my short story’s burned out villain, the me
my brain works so rigorously—
the version I am normally. The normal me,
fixated on fitting in and numerous
senseless, material things.
Now, the un-sober me,
whom hath cracked this case of historical proportions,
is the very most primal version
of me, literally bursting out of every pore
in his body with appreciation for this breathtaking
life and existence,
who could never fathom the purpose for my plethora
of negative thoughts and worries, because
he’s too busy being distracted by the fact that
life is just too damn b-e-a-
utiful, and so, feeling compelled, he takes my mind
on a chill little joyride tonight to remind me and
my ego how astronomically PHENOMENAL
it is indeed to be alive.
CAN I GET AN AMEN?!
