The Nearest Exit

The Nearest Exit … … discarding memories, suffocating in nostalgia’s throttling grip, I flee, moment by moment, away from the now, seeking, yearning, chasing phantom clouds of promise, coveting shrouded whispers of hope, seducing empty vessels of belonging, I flee, moment by moment, away from the now, seeking, yearning, lost, alone, torn, slowly crawling to the nearest exit
