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
