Translated…</p>
<p><em>He Busied on , Not Knowing</em></p>
<p><em>What His Dreams Will Get Him</em></p>
<p><em>He’d Hoped that His Own Poems Can</em></p>
<p><em>Belong to the Realms of the Aesthetics</em></p>
<p><em>(Although the Closer He Got, the More Desolate the Landscapes Became)</em></p>
<p><img src="https://writerslock.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/timthumb.jpeg" />what it felt like, surrounded by this never-ending void, not my photo&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Every Day is the Last</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Every Dream, the Very Last of Its Kind</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>In the Thundering Shower</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>The Flames of that Ordinary and Practical Life</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Burned Up, and Bounced Around</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>He’d Written Two Lines</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Then, Forced Himself to Delete a Paragraph</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>His Account Was Hacked Again</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>He is So Very Busy, but Without a Plan B</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>He is Busy Because</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>Knowing that This World is, Flourishing</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>(Don’t Over Plow the Land)</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>After He’d Shaved</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>He’d Stared in the Mirror</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>Every Morning, He’d Gone There, to Offer His Condolences</em></p>

<p><em>He’d Stayed, Adrift, Toward that Place Far, Far Away…………</em></p>
<p><em>Knowing, that He Won’t Be</em></p>
<p><em>Compelled, to Leave Any Sort of a</em></p>
<p><em>Form of Himself Behind</em></p>
<p><em>Oh, How He’d Hoped, to Make a Sort of a Juice Right This Very Moment</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>To Switch Out the Bad Lucks He’d Had Through the Years</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Cooling Him from the Cores</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Day After Day, Just Drink Continually </em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>That Partners, Who Was</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Willing to Sit Forever Beside Him</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>For a Thousand Years</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>Says Who, He Hadn’t Been, Looking Very Hard for?</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>He’s Busy</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>He’d Not Admitted Defeat</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>Surrounded by Those Buttons and the Screen Daily</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>(Although the Sun &amp; the Moon Eventually Turn Blind Each and Every Day)</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>He’d Still Kept in Mind that</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>The Twitches He’d Had in His Dreams———</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>Aren’t They All, Beautiful, Just the Same?</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>Even If They’re, Nowhere Near the Definitions of Beauty</em></p>
<p><em>Fine</em></p>
<p><em>But, He’d, Deceived Himself:</em></p>
<p><em>This Place, Could’ve, Originally, Been, the Realm of Love</em></p>
<p><img src="https://i0.wp.com/www.identityfeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/AI-672x371.jpg" />too far from reality, that I don&#8217;t know how to get back down!!!  Not my picture</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Looks like the narrator here, refuse to SNAP out of it, because it works way better in his own imaginations, than reality had, and, if he’s only using that as a temporary escape, then, it would be okay, because we ALL need to space out, to get away, to drift off into space, but, if this becomes a habit for this person, then, he’ll just, drift farther, farther, farther, from his reality, until he can’t even, cope with living in the REAL world anymore, so, this would be, a BAD coping mechanism that the narrator’s using…</p>
