Stupidity
An acrostic poem written out of frustration
Published in

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
