Limitless and Senseless
Running down the list of eventuals
The trivial and the medical
I'm in the clear of everything external - all I control is whatever's left
On a cylinder en route to the sun
Ambivalent miles towards the outcome.
Hard wired circuitry disconnected
Stranded, rearranged, out of range of the source.
Inside the circulation of a volcano
Slowly humiliating the earth.
All in graphic detail, too dense to articulate or take offense
I reach for the easy answer, merely grasping common sense
I just need better phrasing
Better words, better verbiage
To describe this feeling without futility.
Is this body I am encased in by choice or by default?
Is this the gravity I live under because someone made a bad decision?
Is this a terminal disease, this thing I won't give to you?
Is it trying to eat me clean -
Unruptured, straight through?

Luckily this suit of skin and bones we walk around in doesn't stop us from flying away in our minds to untold places and times.
I really like this piece, a thoughtful demanding write!
