Tunnel Vision

 

I must make that thundering train

There can't be failure, my faith can't abate

Else I'll suffer the everlasting strain

 

Stuck in this cycle, I'll always remain

In this station, bound to my only fate—

need to make that thundering train

 

On track, I'm lost—but I must fight the pain.

I cannot fall behind, cannot be late

Else I'll suffer the everlasting strain

 

Each time I leap, I only contain

Myself to a new fate, another time to hate.

Do I have to make that thundering train?

 

I need to focus, stay in my own lane

I have no time to stray, no chance to wait

Else I'll suffer the everlasting strain

 

I wake, I repeat, endless is this chain

I'll die, I'll rise, crushed and destinate

To make that endlessly thundering train

Just to suffer that everlasting strain.

Manhattan, NY  (2014)
