Today's word is "daymare" ... dey-mair ... a distressing experience, similar to a bad dream, occurring while one is awake. (Dictionary.com)
Glitch
It wasn't a mere phantom,
But a thought that had gone bad,
Involving the unthinkable,
And yet that's what I had.
A scarry made-up incident,
That for a moment became real,
A daymare of intensity,
Which had come my peace to steal.
Was it my system that was glitching,
Or something else far worse?
Was I accentially rehearsing,
Good things in reverse?
I vow to think then, on the lovely,
And truthful, honest things,
To tame wild dreams of night or day,
And the disquiet which they bring.
