No wind blowing
nary a breeze,
no unease,
influence-empty,
voices stilled.
Dead calm.
Phone off the hook
Emotion off-line.
Analysis.
Paralysis?
Go deep, make a leap.
“Action breaks the circle of the given.”
Was it free?
Did I choose?
Who is me?
Very thought provoking Dave
I like the questions you raise Dave. The exercise of free will is hard for so many of us - dictated to by the needs of those around us. Are our choices really choices - or just a number available to us out of a zillion that aren't...
Very philosophical for this time of the day...

Like this a lot, Dave. The line "emotion off-line" is very good. I really like questions in poems - it directly challenges and engages the reader. X
