Oh consciousness
Pesky heel-nipping consort

Like Swiss cheese be thee
Riddled with serpentine black holes
Ever incomprehensible

Do pardon my lament
But your abiding infatuation surely grates

Like bursting baggage be thee
Plagued by ruptured seams and frayed straps
Ever burdensome

Do endure my complaint
For your vexing presence persists

Like a convoluted maze be thee
Entrapped with dead ends, nested circles and eights
Ever inescapable

Do excuse my grievance
‘bout your incessant naggery

Like warped Kundalini be thee
Afflicted with blocked spiritual energy
Thwarting evolution’s gateway

Do forgive my objections
But your opaque guidance clearly perplexes

And yet
Like a steady friend’s familiar face be thee
Festooned with telltale creases and flaws
My ever trustworthy
Cosmic companion

Oh consciousness
Multi-hued chameleon muse
Forsake me not!

Turning other cheek...bending camouflaged sensual pink festooned with telltale turn to red gridmarked tail in focused alignment encouraging something to write about!...frayed straps...serpentine slither to me! That's me in the corner...

This is downright artistic. Never thought of muse being chameleon, but that's a perfect description. And like a mouse, darting 'round looking for another piece of cheese. That's exactly what a true writer does in my personal experience. . . never afraid to go after that next piece of "cheese"!

Nice to read you Carolyn,
