Diabetes of the mind

Psychosomatic
With attractive disasters,
Dyer consequences,
And unforeseen dilemmas.
Theories of onset genetics.
Slushie lifestyles.
Drug addicted
Diagnosis definite
And
Finite.
The youth.
The elderly.
Men.
Women.
Race,
But
Predisposed urban and suburban.
White, Black, and Latino.
Poor, rich, and middle-class
Solutions...
Art the insulin.
Culture,
creativity,
and free thinking
The Cure.
Ninety-nine percent success,
Lost causes
And
stubborn primates.
Creatures of habit.
Walking eye sores of a reverse Darwin.
Just call them Dwayne for short.

(Excerpt from 3rd Shift Epiphanies: Chronicles of a gas attendant.)
