Stupidity

An acrostic poem written out of frustration

Stillness belies the animated fantasy inside

Tired focus on the yelling woman hides the

Unending daydream behind blithe

Pretend of paying attention to her.

I am frolicking with Apsaras,

Dancing away underneath darkened shades

Idyllic pleasures conjured in my brain,

Trivialize important matters of reality.

Your lectures don’t penetrate my stupid head, unfortunately, For I am far away, caught in my own trap of a nefarious imagination.

Apsaras — Celestial dancers and performers from Indian mythology
