<span style="color: #674ea7;">And words- both written and sounds</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">I travel through them</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">Through both time and space</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">Insulated by the steel walls and padded seat</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">My forehead pressed against the coolness</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">Of the quarter-cracked pane</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">Speed shifts from minute details that stretch like a Kansas plain</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">To shutter-speed flashes of half-formed impressions</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">Painstaking fastness</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">Or breakneck slow?</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7;">The scenery changes- but it's still the same.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">Just as the music on the radio with its same 5 chord progressions </span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">It occurs to me- remakes</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">Songs and scenes and roads</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">Time and trips and memories </span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">They fall in a jolting, yet familiar pattern </span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7;">I take a break and stretch </span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">Regarding the other passengers </span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">Some stare at their phones</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">Heads down, focused </span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">Fingers gliding and lightly tapping over the screen's surface</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">Others, earbuds in, stare blankly ahead, lost in the sounds of their own world</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">Some snuggle next to a child, spouse, lover</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">Others crook their necks, lean back and close their eyes </span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">Trying to let the monotony lull them to sleep </span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7;">I peer out again </span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">Has the scenery changed?</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">Yes and no</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">I feel cramped</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">My stomach lurches from inaneness</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">The familiar question coming to mind </span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">Are we there yet?</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">Yet that doesn't quite capture it </span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">The destination no longer seems to matter </span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">The question is: when can I get off?</span><br />

I try to write</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A simple process, one would think, and yet...</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Tangles, and torrents, and tidal waves</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Rushing, cramming, straining</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A subway at rush-hour</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sometimes I wonder if any will make it through</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Will come out the other-side unwrinkled</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Will manage to keep their vibrancy and light</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After being pushed out the canal of thought</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Squeezing through, pushing out of the dark</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Do they stay the same on their journey?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Or are there bruises, dents, tears;</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Imprints of the time within</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I feel them sometimes</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Pressing, and straining, and clamoring</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I try to bring them out, but I lose them</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Probably more than I save; I lose</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When the survivors reach the end</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That isn’t the end- they are weeded out</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The weak and mangled are discarded</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Tossed as refuse in a back-alley bin</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I still hear their disjointed cries</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Coming from half-formed mouths</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At the end, the weary veterans</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Pursuing their mission</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Do they speak only for themselves or</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Do they speak for their fallen comrades</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Are there any left with luster and hope</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Any standing whole</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The process complete</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I sigh, I shudder, and am spent</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nothing more</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Through the meadow in the night</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I creep, cautiously testing for</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The errant leaf, the careless twig</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Eschewing the well-trodden path</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In pursuit of…</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Achieving calluses, I think wryly</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Though I know that isn’t my aim</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It is out here, amid the darkness that I come</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">To find the flickers</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">To chase the embers</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">That are so tantalizingly near</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Beckoning like a siren’s song</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The journey is a myriad of emotions</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This pursuit- my internal odyssey</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">And if I attain my desires- what then</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Will there be nirvana- eternal nothingness?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Will I be consumed- like Icarus?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Or will it be an endless labyrinth</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">With the end only being the beginning</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It isn’t clear, however,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My feet do not falter, save</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">On those stray rocks and twigs</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The chase is what consumes me. </span></div>
