This poem is weird, I know. It shows the absurdist in me.
terra firma

I walk out to wake and able to lie
Down and replace the past.
Like sorrowfulness in me
Like when the feet are hitting,
rotting away humanity.

Just take my feet upon a lucid me
It me
I it be?
The Ground?
Yeah, that’s it…

Tears of fall cannot break me
Unless I fear something,
But what torture time surely
Comes a decorated travesty.
Called earth,
Called home,
Called acid to and from this land.
This might be the earthquake back where my
Mind cannot best back down to this.
Something sucking seeds
The float has me

Simplicity not a path
Within a jar to reality.
So corrode.
Not forsake my eternity.
Hole-puncher walkways
Leading to me.

Like plants without
Water must down upon the ground
Something else calling drop footsteps
Dripping it surely could burn.

“True absurdism is not less but more real than reality”
- John Simon

Are you kidding! I thought this was great, whether it was weird or not doesn't even come into the picture

Simplicity not a path
Within a jar to reality.
So corrode.
Not forsake my eternity.
Hole-puncher walkways
Leading to me.

absurd?

I didn't think so.

But then, my life is absurd, so this could be absurd, but normal for me. Y'see?
