Today seems different,
I feel that I have slipped from the pathway of life,
A little tipsy my mind feels,
And the only drink I’ve had is water and nothing more,

My thoughts are hazy, and my mind is a mess,
But I don’t recall taking any drugs,
Living in the now has its price you know,
The future stacked against you, so high and strong,

But give me a moment or two alone,
I’ll surely recollect myself at once,
I don’t feel naked or uncomfortable just now,
But this feeling that I sense, can’t explain it somehow,

The life that I picture is what I often lead now,
Pleasure principle is indeed the big cat around,
And as I stare out the window tonight, I see the same,
Everything in its place, and every moment is just right,

So, maybe what has happened is not something new,
A new way of seeing it, that could be true,
But all I know is that this feeling is surreal indeed,
I let myself enjoy it one sip at time.

I speak insanity. I write fantasy. I sleep reality.
