This is a poem I presented in July for International Association for Spelling as Communication‘s Neurolyrical Cafe open mic night. It is about disillusionment and conflict.

Man overboard by Danny Whitty
Farther than an isolated atoll,
Adrift alone.
Weakened and forgotten.
What am I?
What is this place?
What am I to do?
Adrift.
Alone.
Weak.
Forgotten.
You forgot me.
