Body & Mind: Mentally Minced


Crossword three-down says ennui
But do they really know what it means?

Sitting there thinking, thinking, thinking
Sitting there drinking, drinking, drinking

Trying to separate logic and hate
And all the connections your mind creates

Walking around grieving, grieving, grieving
Smiles without meaning, meaning, meaning

Knowledge seems infinite
And, too, the academic ascent a struggle

You reach out, hoping to not allow the limitations of your body
To limit your eternal yearning for happiness
For pleasure
For compassion
To limit your everything and true pain.

To remember a smile (or a warm feeling) is to break past a brick barrier.
The regenerative wall is fisticuff-ready,
But you are stronger and have a hammer.
