POEM STARTER
Submitted by Oddity
Write a poem or short story about someone who lives alone in a bubble.
This could be real or metaphorical.
Onwards
Floating through life, relying on nothing but pulse of the air
To adjust my erratic direction.
We are silent partners, we’re friends and we’re strangers.
We only have got one another; and
This mysterious, ever-expanding connection.
Corrections and shifts to the course -
I’m not even tiniest bit bothered.
Another adjustment,
Just keep looking straight -
Absorbing the impact. Accepting the truth
as it chooses to step into action.
Impeccable timing, as always. Such is the arrangement
that comes at no evident cost.
My options are tight, the plan has been written and sealed.
The chapters have been pre-defined
(if not all - then, probably, most).
The end to this story has one possible line.
Post-mortem, conclusions, and date.
Those are not mine to see, and they
are not mine to write.
So I keep looking straight,
Knowing that end of the day -
The world will continue
alright.
