Nowhere

Nowhere is a place that comes up blank on google maps but you go there everyday, walk the streets, catch a train, buy lunch at the same cafe. Everything there is a clever counterfeit, a construct of your mind. Nowhere is a place where you can hide, where shadows luxuriate and thoughts have doors so you can slip away without being seen. It's the place you know, the stalled halfway point where a lifetime can be spent shuffling dead end streets between where you are and where you want to go.

Thanks John for the feedback. Always good to have an escape hatch although what you might be escaping into could be worse. Regards
