Oblivious

Head On A Stem, 'noir' by Odilon Redon

“Public domain”

She looks out on the world

A melancholy gaze

offered reluctantly at best

She lives in her head

her Universe centered there

Her body a thin stem

with little meaning

other than support

Her stare penetrates  

the consciousness 

of those who would ignore

Throw your sticks to the wind

all who abhor

She is oblivious

Wallflower

The perks of being a wallflower

hiding where the wild things are

 able to suck up their mania

and never have to fall

One flew over the cuckoo's nest

but I remain

having sponged enough chicanery

for one hundred years

of solitude
