IMPOSSIBLE

To have you now

Here with me for a talk

Is as ridiculous as it ever seemed.

I’ve journeyed vast plains

Only to find upon my return

That the experience is negligible.

I must regress a thousand thoughts

To share an empty laugh

With the friends I left behind.

I see them clearly

But they fail to perceive me

Beyond the confines of their unreason.

Within this crowded space

I am most alone

Touched only by the pathetic resignation.
