I decide I’ve spent enough time<\/p>\n
Between these walls<\/p>\n
For the past 15 months<\/p>\n
That I can walk around eyes closed<\/p>\n
Navigate by hologram burned into retina<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Muscle memory taking over<\/p>\n
Knowing the constant steps between<\/p>\n
Fridge and trash<\/p>\n
Fridge and recycling<\/p>\n
Fridge and compost<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Nice compact metaphors for life<\/p>\n
The consuming<\/p>\n
The dropping<\/p>\n
And the repetitive steps in between<\/p>\n
A measurable distance<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So I try it<\/p>\n
And walk towards the direction I need to go<\/p>\n
Eyes closed<\/p>\n
Light changing on my eyelids<\/p>\n
As a window makes itself known<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
That’s when it happens<\/p>\n
There are no walls<\/p>\n
There is no walking<\/p>\n
There are no things<\/p>\n
And up I go<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As if beams had tractors<\/p>\n
To plow them<\/p>\n
In neat orderly rows<\/p>\n
And I realize<\/p>\n
Where the hell am I<\/p>\n
