You know what I appreciate?
Getting lost in the details of something other than what I know
There's pure pleasure in that
A sweet supernatural high that allows me to forget
the crap that I don't wish to remember
Because what I know
at odd times
makes my head burn
and turns my thoughts numb
Like a guilty verdict before court adjourns
It's all abstract
Mental art that's difficult to process even when I'm directly in front of it
So I lose myself in the details of something other than what I know
Like the heat in Nairobi city
and existing in a society
where I am the majority
