ILLUMINATIONS

 

I deeply despise 

The disconcerting crash landings 

That inevitably follow glittering ideas

Conceived in delusional nanoseconds

When I forget how old I am,

Only to be rudely reminded

That the tock relating to that particular illumination

Ticked several years ago.

 

Each time,

The shock is real.

 

Viva la reincarnation!
