My mind wonders often
it delves into
the abyss of eternity
questioning and wandering
about its own mortality
for it's trying to discern
what’s waiting
on the other end
of the long tunnel
so it can free itself
from the genie of smokes
and the euphoric pandora
box chained within
relentlessly fighting
to expose the older man
who is hiding
under the mask
and white lies,
who is truly yearning
to free the lost younger-boy
who’s trapped beneath
the pounds of flesh
that’s beating nonstop
yet non-responsive
to his demands
like an ear foreign to
a deafening sound
