Notes About The Poem

Prisoners

We are
locked up
free the same
time       in       our 
minds prison 
without
bars

                                          how did we end up
remotely controlling
        all we do
as slow drones        we       hover
over our       uncouth bodies

what would it feel 
like to be mind only
me only, you only
afloat     in 
each other

Mind over matter
so they say
