Propensity
`


i am
a non-poem
in a poetic matrix

consternation
is my drug of choice

emerald sweeth*
singe my sheath

iam nonplussed
in the haze
of sanity's demise

blind am-i [ to you ]
your amplitude
is useless to me.






`
An experimental poem of disjointed part-images and dark tones and angularly jagged connotations.

*sweeth is a blend sweet and sweat and teeth, a non-dictionary, non-slang experimental word, neologism, if you will.

Note how the self-declaration (italicised couplet & succeeding non-rhymed tercet) is immediately followed by 'society's' response in the last stanza, flagged by the parenthetical [ to you ].
