disappointment

for Howard Hughes


All of the world's idiocies
hold me back
keep me in place
arms tied back &
belts fastened around
my waist...

That bitter taste on my
tongue?
The residue of dreams
crushed
when I was much younger...

The pain touched upon
again & again...

Reliving the rejection
sends me into isolation
self-imposed exile
permanent concentration...

I put my blinders on
not only to focus
but to escape...
