Strangeness

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Apr 10, 2021 

Strangeness.
Look.
Look around.
What the hell.
What’s 
going on?
Accepting
what’s 
seen,
what’s said.
Flicker
of existence.
Firefly flash.
What’s 
the point?
Screaming 
headlong.
Coming 
then going.
Doing what’s
told, expected.
Rules.
What rules?
Who’s rules?
Vicious 
vile 
little creatures.
Thrashing 
in the
muck.
Looking
for the
edge.
Swampy 
reality.
Sticky gooey 
mess.
