Altered states

S y m t o m s o f D e m e n t i a :

Speech impairment

Mood switches

Memory loss

Focus lost

Reasoning fails

---

Occasional loss of reality

---

"But who is to say what

Is real and what is not?”

It’s just a different point of

View, just a messy sense of

Realm, scratch dream Universe,

Flat-tired Hearse, day in day

Out afresh, new mind new me,

Widowed Authenticity,

Spare cryptic dream realty, control

Forgotten and submerged in

My reality, feeling

Of animate being, lost,

Inside rabbit holes, melting

My sanity, thought is locked

Without a key, I’ll have to

Take enigmas down with me,

And they will see

My mind in

A maze of

P
