The silks and satins of it nestle in my palm,
Tiny xanthic sphere of so much promise,
But it's been a bad day and I need you now.
The swallow reflex acheives lift of.
I look at the wardrobe,
It leaps out at me,
Paranoi grips my fevered brow,
In an effort to freeze time,
I put the clock in the refridgerator,
Taking out some bacon at the same time,
It lears at me in the pan whispering in Piggy tones,
"Meat is Red Murder".
I realise then that the 'I'
Is no more than an 'i'
It has passed and the come down takes me
really down.
Disapointed?
Me. I paid good money to the man,
But he don't give no refund.

I'm not sure what the author meant, but I see an addicted personality. She is disillusioned, the "i" that is not "I" (iPhone) has not given her the high and satisfaction that she thought she would get. Don't know what the meat and bacon are about other than delusional thinking? I have no idea if this is what it's about, but it's what I get out of it. I'm open to hearing other explanations. OP?

I think there is a type of LSD that is called California Sunshine.
It is yellow.
The silks and satins are lyrics to a song entitled California Silks and Satins.
The I no more than an i, is meant to signify disappointment in oneself.
Bacon and clocks are paranoia associated with coming down.
I hope I have not just written a load of rubbish ha ha ha.
In any event, the piece is thought provoking, so it works for me.

Aha! So I missed the entire California Sunshine reference. Nor am I familiar with the song California Silks and Satins. That makes all the difference.

Otoh, I have a tendency to create symbolism where none was meant. So even if I wasn't aware of the references, I would have made something up in my own mind that made sense (at least to me). :)

Until Ras comes on here we do not know if I was right though.
What ever it meant to you is also relevant, that's the beauty of poetry, isn't it?
