Notes About The Poem

The Atemporal Wall

The Atemporal Wall

Hidden away from the light of day
In cubbyholes and basement flats
Are they who play computer games
And stuff their faces with chocolates.

Here is where they snicker and connive
(While rambunctious fingers press the buttons)
On terrestrial Earth, this side of the universe,
Of mice, keyboards, and controllers.

But when they crash into the wall of forever
And dispersed matter becomes reality,
The power of the sun from which they run
Traps them into the quagmire of sobriety.

   There is no tomorrow, they discover;
   The atemporal wall blocks the future.
                           ***

Note:
   Atemporal (Merriam-Webster dictionary): adjective; independent of or unaffected by time; timeless.
