Fallible

imperfect humans 

doomed to dream

woke yet

asleep at the wheel

electile disfunction

mindfulness prescription 

expired in the bathroom

vanity

of American exceptionalism

myopic

the blue light of "smart devices"

blinds an entire species

Thoughts unread 

write tomes each day

Cognitive processing

a mythical teaching

shrouded in clouds upon

distant peaks

Empathy buried

at the bottom of 

the to do list

Awaken the dreamer

begin the quest

the hero lies within

us all
