Its standing outside the candy store-
not a penny to your name.
Watching others indulge
in glutinous delights.
Or waiting to be picked-
while choosing sides
knowing you are the odd number
therefore well left behind.
Its the Martin novel
each time one of your friends die.
Gatsby's heroic yet untimely demise....
Unrequited quests
Captain Ahabs whale
Don Quixote’s windmills.
The albatross within my soul
Knowing there is no bridge
for the chasm
between you
and me!
