Did they suggest a shrink when I was incarcerated?: A poem 

Did your buttonhole come loose 

when you tried to decipher my 

glands of thought; a mind of an 

island so lost to distance, that 

even the supercomputer of the  

universe cannot figure out what! 

I am a candidate, whose treasure 

of candidness, resists being supplied  

to publicity. This intimacy cannot 

be split publicly. But I will tell you, 

I am no meteor falling into the world’s 

atmosphere, intent on its destruction 

Yes, I have enemies; but I was marked 

on the forehead with a symbol of protection 

to let loose on what I randomly decide or choose 

Did you ask me if they were reading my mind? 

I am like an arcane wine bottle that 

if you uncork, would leave you intoxicated 

and hopelessly transitioning among circuits  

that keep guessing their polar magnetic dispositions   

I can assure you it is not you I want to unravel,  

but the perpetrator pretending he is all but 

the traitor. As you suggested, I should be handed 

over to a shrink. I am the highest mountain to climb 

And my hieroglyphs are hidden so deep 

under bricks of lead, that you wouldn’t reach; 

like if you set out investigating the location of  

the shem, that was the Ark of the Covenant, 

you would only be mired in hypotheses 

You must know, that I even hid my ribaldry 

against the eternal treachery; till it was prone 

And your shrink will sadly never discover God 

in all the exploration; because the only shrink 

that can tell God, is God and him alone.

Hi, I am Monte Cyril Rodrigues and live in Melbourne, Australia. I am a retired journalist. I have been diagnosed with schizophrenia. I've had voices and visions all my life. I think it is a spiritual experience, my doctors think otherwise. I am a deeply spiritual person and keep having experiences with otherworldly realms.
