I scream for answers
In this world of cancers
The ticking of the clock never ceases
Like my hamster dropping endless feces
It is all so confusing
I quietly keep musing
I can’t mouth words to explain how I feel
Have I been given a bad deal?
She wants to help me
My sister says to me
Attending silent meditation could be my new identity
Leading to greater personal serenity

Like my hamster dropping endless feces
The ticking of the clock never ceases
In this world of cancers

A Glaring Omission
I made peace with being cast out by others pretty early in life. As lonely as it may sound, I don’t recall many times during childhood when those actions affected me any longer than a moment or two. Being deemed the weird/gay/weird gay freak by everyone from neighborhood kids to blood relatives allowed me the privilege of sneaking away whenever I pleased to dive deeper into hobbies that molded the proud pop culture geek and writer I am today.

Like my hamster….. now that is a great line. Well done on the inverse not sure which way I prefer. I’ll have to read again.
It feels like a circular fate, leading back and forth with each other. Nice work Scott!
😊👏 Nice work scott at the inverse! I like the first and “last line” rhyme: cancer/answers.
Wow this was really cool

"Like my hamster dropping endless feces" 😭😂😂 Love your abstract poem, Paul ! 💓
Nice entry, Scott! I loved how you in included the reverse right after the forward. Meditation is therapeutic indeed.
