I'm puzzled by this poems mystery

I inferred this to mean that everything said is head in the sand stuff.

That's right - this poem's a bit of a mystery for me; I think the dislocated and slightly mechanical language intimates the strictures and dislocations of a confined life that hides from itself, but this is a post-poem rationalisation (as I guess all interpretations are). This is a strange one.

How mysterious - absurd, almost, but the words fall so exactly that it is instead alluring.
Poems that are strange even to their creators excite me.

I do find this fascinating how when we write, sometimes we just cannot think of where the hell it came from! I have some poems in different female voices which is weired (I'm male) and I have posted them on my blog;

If anyone else has work that seems to have come from somewhere else please post on this thread so we can interrogate this strange phenomena!
Many thanks
It reads like a game of word disassociation. But I enjoyed it none the less.

For those who believe,
no explanation is necessary.
For those who do not,
none will suffice.
Word dissociation! I do have a dissociative disorder though funnily enough!
What a strange and quite weird poem, Totally confuzzled my mind that one! Quite enriching if you ask me.
