Flowery Angst.A Poem by Ben Lingemann
I miss being filled with a sense of here and now from
the unclouded mental vision of youth before the eclosion from adolescent reverie to adult delusions. Every moment thereafter being crystallized with serene debasement of self. With age eagerly gripping the hand of heartache, will you worry about losing relevance? survey says, an astounding "YES" Frightening, knee-knocking shoot the stranger who walks at dusk questions arise... How long will my mental faculties survive this torment of existence? How long till I am the stranger blinded and in the dark? How long till I am the fly caught in a web of ineptitude? Forever the convalescent, I revel in and reveal the depths of human insolence. For, ever striving to be the emotion-less outsider, I become buried beneath the inherent ephemerality of cerebral acuity. © 2011 Ben LingemannAuthor's Note
