Bending Life


foreign submarines race to the finish line

in the mind's oceans in order to bring

distant memories to the surface...  we

celebrate the competition but not the

reminders as they were sunk to the 

bottom of the mind intentionally years

with the expectation of no return...  our

lives are no longer our own as we

interpret each day with new justifications

to rationalize our existence...  life bends

around the shadow of time as it passes,

not accepting its own inherent curvatures

in the process...  clinging to rituals as

though any change would haunt and

hinder the prospects of our salvation...

slanted opinions slide into our pockets

labeling us thieves to the constable and

if we hide too long then our lives have

journeyed past the point of no return.
