Dullness

 

To occupy the delusion 

that one is not the main character in their own life

 a desiccating boredom

That dry-rots the whole experience

 

How empty these spaces feel

Begging for fulfillment

As hungry birds gluttonously vying

For another revolting morsel

 

How plain it all tastes

When stripped of color and meaning

As if the tide has been out for so long

one wonders if the ocean is evaporating

 

the ship for larger schemes has set sail

lost beyond the illusion of the horizon

as a memory of otherness that cannot be placed
