goodbye illusions

When, in the course of human events,

It becomes necessary to separate 

Yourself from your illusions-

No matter how dear they are...

I’ve been questioning my sanity 

(Not really) 

With this boy. He plays games

And never stops pranking. 

For example. 

He shakes one foot for “yes,”

And the other foot for “no.”

But when I ask him to demonstrate,

He has this blank, 1000 yard stare 

And starts making animal noises 

Like he can’t comprehend 

Even if someone is talking to him. 

He acts like he is being tortured

Even to have his face washed. 

Then he laughs and laughs about it. 

So to save my sanity,

I’ve dropped the extras 

from my daily care. 

And have decided to just focus

 on the basics. 

More masks! 

People are very generous 

When it comes to masks. 

No one has asked for a dime in payment. 

Well... one person asked. 

Crazy How much CV19 is true 

And how much is illusion?

And the lockdown?

That’s crazy! 

I’m actually baffled. 

But I’m not surprised. 

I saw this coming. 

Get ready for the second wave. 

Can’t drink all night 

And sleep all day

And be a good Lumberjack. 

Grains are like Heroin to me.

I want more more more 

If I even have a little. 

When a patient has a little problem, 

I always try to get them to correct it. 

When it’s small and manageable. 

Most of us don’t act until it’s the 11th hour.

That’s crazy. 

And not effective!
