we are the unforgiven
sight leaves us wanting
we hide is caves of fantasy
reliving old memories
not realizing life has
moved on beyond us;
the noise of memories plays
loudly in our ears as we
relive the past... never
wanting the future to catch
with us anymore than
it really has to... we are
tail-gaters of the past, sitting
in abandoned flatbed trucks in
a graveyqrd of dead thoughts
on which our vision rests;
we are not that old yet but
we are old enough to move on
and embrace the life that
others left behind for us...
hand-me-down clothes that
fit uncomfortably well on our
enlarged bodies... life prepares
us for death and our future
prepares us to leave the past
behind as it no longer impacts
what we do... our separate
worlds clash, creating new
dimensions in which we live
like fish in a bowl of water.
