November 25th, 1992 4:20 p.m. poetry by Michael F. Nyiri


"Untitled"

The trip to ecstasy has been painful
And I don't even feel I've arrived.
Shallow emotions float on the surface
Hiding the deep truths.
Somehow I'm not
who I always thought I was
Somehow my conversations with myself
have not yeilded any answers

I've attempted a coupling with humanity
When conversing with myself
I had no wrong answers,
But I didn't know what I was 
talking about.
1992
