On Lacking Sticktoitiveness

Most of my Lix spittle

+ four additional anniversaries

since exiting birth canal
as full term newborn

re: minimally viable existence
post doc severance umbilical cord,

nevertheless yours truly

found himself figuratively

linkedin and tethered to lifeline

particularly in formative years
(primarily academically) adrift,
and malfunctioning blinker

analogous to a boat
without an ankh (clawing

away to stay afloat)

aimlessly bobbing -
and drowning akin
to a besotted drinker
just out of rest to be
rescued by Mister Rinker
sea ming lee without
any hook, line and sinker

despite being gifted with
an above average thinker,

(who calls Lake Wobegon
his birth place)

from without, where two
brown myopic ocular
orbs shutterfly, twitter and winker.

 

All thru academia
just barely passing grades
nsync with avocations

such as: jigsaw puzzles,

photography, playing piano
weight lifting with free weights

and other endeavors metaphorically
suffered from anemia,

and at my nadir,
thy prepubescent psyche
plummeted lovely bones

into grave state,
courtesy anorexia minus bulimia
mental health also linkedin
shot thru through with
healthy dose of dysthymia
captioned tinker tailor soldier spy
kept awake with insomnia

peppering cerebral
cortex with monomania

buzzfeed ding somnambulant
zombified condition

with a burning
desire toward pyromania

nsync with unmanageable
raging (red dee
and bull lush) testosterone
spawning (when libido

ran rampantly amuck)

satyromania, the above particularly
accentuated, and cresting
with accursed triskaidekaphobia

most agonizing, when

orbitz around Earth
demarcated ten plus three
month date on a Friday the thirteenth,

hence death be not proud
sought after utopia
pleading, longing, and hooping
if I Willoughby
able to sprinkle
cremated ashes across Xenia
after Dayton death.
