Monday's (Wednesday's) Son

Here's this week's bonus poem.

A Ten Minute Monologue with Flat Fives

If I ever start drifting into
Electric Joni land
Please stop me
Long before I start sporting a beret
And chain smoking my ego
It's a dangerous line to walk
For anyone who wants to express themself
Based on their experiences
The big misunderstood difference
Between
Self-aware and self-absorbed
The former finds one
As a satellite that's rotating around
A mess of other worlds
You can't escape from
And the latter puts you at the center
Of all other worlds
That are probably trying
Desperately
To escape
From you
