"this is the world as best as I can remember it"

Sitting in the comfort
of my desolation.

A cushioned couch
for my consolation.

An inner world springs
forth, my creation.

Offered in awed silence
as my oblation.

A. Monk: “Aaroneous Monk” brings to mind the image of a bumbling but well-meaning hermit who continually trips himself up in his overgrown beard as he attempts to battle evil in the world but, more often than not, forgets about the darkness in his own heart. It also sounds similar to the legendary jazz pianist Thelonious Monk, but with a faux-Greek twist. Thelonious was known for being able to maintain two disparate rhythms going at the same time with his hands seemingly disconnected from each other. That kinda sums up my struggle...
