Aorbnaml Tohguhts



Abnormal cerebral cortex forces distorted thoughts
that scratch away the patch work of my crossed circuits.
So now I’m lost when I search for an answer,
fore I cross paths with a trance
and interreact without fighting back.

My hippocampus just can’t understand this distance

brought forth from the core,
and once more
my mind lies to my eyes,
blinding real life with sights from the night,
disturbed and confused,
then reused in the light
yet deferred to an obscure blur
that I
