Private Notes

Unnoticed

 

There is a tiny thin line

weaving and wandering

like a creek bed

-          invisible like the equator

and it is all that separates misery

from absolute ecstasy.

One wrong step could be tragic.

 

You were not given a map.

 

There is murky water

And you cannot see

below.

-          Not even your own reflection

is there.

When you squint,

you’re still a blur.

 

You have a problem.

The problem is not that you

will die.

-          It is the knowing.

You wish you didn’t.

 

There are animals

and some talk to you

as though you understand

their guttural sounds

and strange gurgles.

But most walk by

-          unaffected.
