I was cleaning up my room and I came upon a poem that Sarah Coles gave me back in high school.

I Sought Oblivion

I sought oblivion — and I found you
Like a satyr bathing
in the morning dew
Like an unwanted chestnut
in a brain-fried stew
I sought chaos — and I found you.

I wanted surcease — and there you were
Like a kitten wrapped
in a tiger's fur.
Like a prophet who preached
but was never quite sure.
I wanted illusion — and there you were.

I floundered in darkness — and lo! you lay
like a trollop rolling
in a mound of hay.
like the mime who didn't know
what to say.
I floundered in shadows — and lo! you lay.

I searched and I wanted
I foundered and flew
but wherever I wandered
I know I'll find you.
