To Yorick's Skull and No One ElseA Poem by Dennis ShanabergPerhaps, I'm possessed. Probably,Oh, I should confess, Sinfully, That I'm the worst man That I've ever known. I'm sorry. Honestly, Oh, I kinda love it. You can strike me down. While I'm down here, Send kicks to the crown. Oh, I have no fear. Now, that I'm broken You can do nothing more. Oh, you've awoken My demons most pure. Darkness arising. Where have you been? A dragon takes flight To blot out the sun. Eclipsing the silence With violence again. Is this the real me? Is this who I am? Oh, yes. Please. I kinda like it. Skeletons scattering - Brittle bones do break with words. Syllabic sword swinging - I never knew how much it'd hurt. But they run from me. Social entropy. I'm the Spotlit star Of this scene Of which it seems No one has heard. But my finite fame Will be assured If the critics seats Fade to vapor. And on this stage I shall recite to shattered skulls a soliloquy of solitude: "To be or not to be Me?" © 2020 Dennis Shanaberg |
