I awaken & come to my senses
Like breaking the surface after a dive
Disoriented, stripped of pretenses
I must simply accept ʇɐɥʇ I’m alive
#SelfiePoem
My entire existence is but a gem
Embedded in some ancient artifact
Despotic rulers lorded over men
My layman’s awareness can counteract
#SelfieSonnet
#SelfiePoem

For “Xerxes did die, & so must I”
Is a lesson little children are taught
To keep them from giving revolt a try
In today, for a while, we are all caught
