SURREAL

PART OR MOST OF MY LIFE I HAVE FELT KIND OF OUT OF PLACE.
LIKE WHEN I WAS A CHILD IN THE DEPARTMENT STORE WITH MY MOTHER'
CONFUSING PEOPLE WITH MANIKENS. SPRING IN THE COUNTRY' THE LONELY YET
AWESOME WATER SPRINGS. IN GRADE SCHOOL I WAS PETRIFIED AND DAYDREAMING
ONCE IN JUNIOR HIGH AT A HEALTH CLASS DAYDREAMING' DRAWING PICTURES OF FUTURE CARS' THE TEACHER FOUND IT SHOWED IT IN FRONT OF CLASS THEY ALL LAUGHED IN COLLEGE I RELATED MUCH BETTER EVEN THOUGH I WAS GOING FULL TIME
AND I WAS FORTY YEARS OLD.

relate much better if you did not SHOUT. Using all caps makes it very difficult to read. ~ Geezer.

I agree with Geezer! The moment I saw the body of the poem all capped I ignore it.
