.
You have created in your mind’s eye,
a Gordian Knot of circumstance,
a Labyrinthine Maze of possibilities,
and set yourself to wander through
its multiple distractions,
pulled to some, running from others,
in a futile attempt to escape
its confining and suffocating aspects.
.
Every path ends in a cul-de-sac,
and memory proves to be unreliable.
Days merge into groundhog days of run and repeat.
There is no “Way Out” – No Exit is required.
Freedom is just a glance away …
Yet so long as you want to bring it all with you,
or even just a few crumbs or a fish-head*
You will wander its byways for all eternity.
