Dreamless Foe
Breathless boredom and chains
I cannot feel; cannot turn this wheel
Of fortune: I wish I could
Go beyond, break their glass ceiling:
Invisible dreamless foe,
One you insist keep me Earthbound,
keep me Unfound and Unremembered;
As time moves on, ticking โ tocking
I remain. I remain. I remain still
As stillness sought
By a chastised child,
Out of breath but bound
To steaming trains and
By invisible chains
Of boredom.
