At 35

It is in this heart that all are one.

The man left alone in disarray, viscid and nearly insane with anger.
He paces discordantly, lisping sublime epithets like curses unbeknown to who know not the language of failures.
He trails and wonders into momentary thought spells, questioning why did he have to bait his own heart.

The normal clutter of luncheon crowds scatter talk about jingling cutlery and glasses in one cosmopolitan eatery, and he sits disparaged by terror at the jarring conscience.
Morality is now manipulated by machines and coins in a heart where all that art was one.
Once-connected souls that shed each other’s light, an entranced tool his body has become,
Devoid of yearning and expectant of yields of emptiness.
What shattering impotence comes with not knowing why I thought I could change my life for a future that is uncertain?
Do I walk resigned to this chaos inside?


‘No one chooses to sleep in the gutter’ the lyrics resonated on the radio.
