Confounded
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
Perplexed
stuck in the grip
of ill effects
can't move...
lost my smooth/easy groove
couldn't think
of what comes next
Astounded
couldn't find a way around it
can't find the vaccine
even in my dreams
for this disease
it seems there is no cure
i've been sidetracked
i've lost my way
and there's no way back
Elusive
the jury's out,
it's inconclusive
i'm fresh out of love
it seems my heart
accounts
been hacked
