A Day In The Life of Naje*.

............I am working diligently on my Economics homework. It's late and I've been smitten with sickness that I've been fending off arm and limb for the previous 24 hours. At a painstaking sloth like pace i make my way onto the fourth problem. I mentally pinch my conscience in attempt to prevent myself from toppling over from my swivel arm chair head first onto the carpet, which for other than the filth it's covered in, is an attractive alternative for my bed that taunts me across the room. But enough is enough, midnight is dawning and I have a 6 o'clock wake up call so I force my mind's roaming to revert back to the oversized textbook cutting of my hamstring circulation. Reading the question at hand, it says "How do unicorns affect the natural rate of unemployment?". So now I have to consider whether Pepto Bismol is a hallucinogenic because I sincerely doubt that the author of my textbook has taken such a creative approach to explaining economics principals. I do, however, momentarily consider the possibility that if employed, this superior species of equine that is, frictional employment would increase as the entrance of more efficient workers in perhaps the mining industry or in freelance gardening would push out our own homo sapiens. Dumping those raucous jumping beans of thought I refocused my attention and fought against the weighty pull of gravity on my eyelids to once again find the beginning of the sentence and attempt to regain my sanity. My perseverance payed off in the end when I discovered the cryptic scenario at hand. The word "unions" and "unicorns" have far too many letters in common.

.............Hello dyslexia. My name is naje.

Me and You. Just us Two.

You explore
You probe the boundaries of existence
You dig deep into reality and time.

I question
Every now and then I dispute
I wonder what it's like to be brilliant
Your mind is a convoluted maze of intricately crafted gears,
All fitting into one another with infallible accuracy as they turn in a continual rhythm.


Meanwhile your ponderings take hold of your conscience
Theories materialize like levitating pods without foundation
But as you jabber by logic constructs grounds
Coherence that is all but logical.

I'm relieved its illogic you seep.

It is all i can decipher
And despite your brand of insanity not being lock and key with my own
It seems as though desolation calls for a familiar.

Accept what sanity evades me.

You know that variant wavelengths are inaudible
And silent life is pitiful existence
So just give in.

We are the same crescent and the same trough.
