“Appropriate Arrival”
By Christopher Hickey
Stop!
Is this the place?
Confusion reigns,
Inbound trains.
Destination unknown.
Traveling light, with a heavy heart.
Where to start?
Difficulties unexpected.
Expel my doubts,
Anorexic?
No.
They’re still here.
Resume your life.
Resume is your life.
Paper defines worth.
Can I exist without succinct definition?
Probably not.
Having tried to fail, I succeed.
Failing to succeed, champions my complacency.
Walking to stand still.
Preying on hope.
Waiting for good dough.
