FANTASY / REALITY: Two contrasting self-portraits

	In fantasy I’m
	a charming prince with
	elan & vigor
	keen to explore new fields
	& visit distant lands

	Immensely inquisitive,
	uncannily intuitive,
	and always confident
	my existence feels
	like a sunny sojourn

	In reality I’m
	a haggard ol’ buzzard
	uften tired, lonely & bored bi
	dah hollowness ah me fantasies
	err fickleness ah me moodz

	However,
	I’m learning nut ta take meself
	2 seriously & ignore dah kravings
	ah me monkey mind

	In kulm moments at yeast,
	it iz komic to realize
	foillible kuntsciousness iz.

        How strange ta B civilized outwardly, 
	yet 95% chimpanzee.
