Trapped

By Malcholm Dark


I am a coconut wrangler
In the shadows of my mind.

I make needles for haystacks
The kind nobody can find.

I make travel plans for lemmings
Let the secular migration begin.

I reminisce on Rorschach's inkblots
Folded over and colored herein.

I am more alive than you are
Although you could never tell.

I feel the world around me...

Trapped within my living hell.

    Such intriguing thoughts, needles in haystacks, travel plans for lemmings, inkblots. Wrangling coconuts in the shadows of your mind, like wandering thoughts searching for answers? Write on. Scholar
