Pythia
My high school friends often thought
I was high on shrooms,
E, marijuana -- the works -- my brain went
so quickly on such distant tangents
I might as well have been spouting nonsense.
Perhaps I was speaking in tongues, an adolescent
prophet for the age of hypertext,
photoshop, deepfake -- the works -- until we were tamed
by Sertraline or the Twitter feeds
I half-knowingly anticipated, take your pick.
