Lulled to sleep courtesy white noise of the fan

Nestled under blankets,

the gentle whirring sound

soothes the savage beast

within mine body electric

of one generic, opportunistic,

and wholistic garden variety man.

 

Within blink of closed eye

yours truly transported

into the realm of deep sleep

benumbed to reality as unconscious guy

experiencing dynamic vivid dreams

(C17H18F3NO·HCl)

known as Selective

Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI),

especially prescribed to treat

depression, panic disorder,

and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

 

Holmes tower fan whooshing air
analogous to sonogram (ultrasound)

infiltrates slumbering snorer (me)

best not to awaken papa bear,

cuz he will roar loud and clear

disrupted sleep upends ability to function

no joking psyche riddled

 

with profound anxiety and despair

subsequent havoc wrought

on par whereby mailer daemons ensnare

co opting, conquering,

and compromising blissful state

deadened head reveling

within private webbed world

 

regarding unscripted drama deep inside

temporal lobe of brain,

the hippocampus might conjure

time traveling circa Renaissance faire

wordsmith metaphorically possessed

remonstrated by fire breathing dragon

evidenced fiery breathing

affect nostrils to snort and flare

 

awoke from necessary dreams,

I would angrily glare

frightfully enough to induce goosebumps,

and raise every small hair

along spine uncontrollable fury

communicating shattered functionality

essentially rude awakening would impair

ability to experience joie de vivre.

similar to Tonga underwater volcano

constituting physiological displeasures

chiefly vertigo, racing heart, nausea,

excessive perspiration, adrenaline

coursing thru body,

whereby Prozac (brand name regarding

 

aforementioned synthesized chemical)
ameliorated unbearable,

unmanageable, untenable...
earth-shaking, devastating,

and crushing manifestations

disabling, exhausting, hijacking,

jackknifing, sabotaging, and wrecking

life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.

 

Kickstarting psychological equilibrium

linkedin with savoring at least bajillion winks

else sixty plus shades of gray matter methinks

knotted courtesy cerebral gordian knotted kinks

yours truly feels discombobulated

teetering and tottering atop brinks

of figurative precipice.

    This is the kind of poetry best read in a smoky night club in Greenwich Village with a jazz trio backing you up. Jack Kerouac would love this. I did.
