“A” is for Abstractions- Synonym for Detachment

April 10, 2022 by Russell Wardlow Leave a Comment

this world
this blessed world
is a chaotic and neurotic world
is full of distractions!
and …
well, so I am
as well
I am even one of them
or many
this world, and I
this world of mine
this world, is mine
so I shall go inside
and quiet my world
bringing order to chaos
and discipline to distractions

lo, I was born from a “syn”-
nonym of detachment
don’t give me a break
fore the way of true grade
deserves an “A”
for abstractions
