Poem: I wander lonely in the crowd
Bereft of all connection
Rare indeed the fertile furrow ploughed
With such insense of all direction.

I know I don''t know where I''m bound
Nor recall quite how I got here
The past''s a trammel of broken ground
Ahead it seems too coarse to steer.

But no trajectory of solo flight
Will ever touch down in fields of foison
When all of its propellant might
Pumps from a heart of misanthropic poison.

I don''t much like me
And still less like you
My apparent human being kin
I''m disappointed and perhaps jealous too
As I see you digging in....
