.
Most of the time
I am adrift-
untethered
aimlessly perambulating
through empty landscapes
devoid of meaning.
Expecting nothing,
nothing is what I get.
Eager
to be a part of something
larger
than my insignificant self,
but my entreaties
fall on deaf ears.
‘Ho-hum’, says the World.
‘You are okay.’
‘Nothing special.’
‘So-so at best!’
In a winner-take all game,
I am not deemed a winner.
Man overboard!
flailing
in churning storm-tossed seas…
The sharks are circling
there’s blood in the wind
and I’m treading water
waiting to drown.
