No Way Out

.
No Way Out
A genie in the bottle to grant my wishes—
I’m drifting, 
looking for the red exit sign.

My desire for freedom waning 
     like the moon reflected in hues of blue 
          on the glass
               of a Klein bottle:
     A line begins, 
yet never ends, 
     curling inward,
outward.
 
The terrarium of my life
		shelved between the dust motes of indifference—
	dancing ill-conceived clichés in soporific sunbeams—
it’s a mere curiosity …
 
Words chocked back,
	thoughts lost
		in     the
				labyrinth …
