Poetry Jam: Consciousness

This week's Poetry Jam has Ms. Dana Bug as the official mixologist. Our prompt is to write a poem that revolves around ourselves at age 67. That number is significant to me, for both of my parents died at age 66.

Consciousness

Jung's is collective
containing collaborative
but chaotic compositions
carefully calculated
to create clear cut
caricatures of cranial
cacophonies in crazy

casual and coiffure
occasionally quirky
consistent and tranquil
cautious,  concerned
a creatively concocted 
course of action, 
convoking acquaintances
to collaborate and affect.
