Feet get heavier
Every morning
The leash feels tighter
People feel samier
The world gets smaller
Every day you're not seeing it

The boundaries
Just out of sight
Unless I turn on the TV

The gaps get bigger
Harder to close
Or more difficult to jump
When your feet get heavier
Every morning.

And I'm sorry to see you took your last post down - it was remarkable.

Did you take something down?

This is the Duke --> :(

I really like this, the ending is A+

I can relate too. It's funny, for me at least, because thoughts like those are almost anti-inspiration.

Which is why its nice to see them set right.

"People feel samier"
I've been wondering when I'd see the word samier get used.

Like the ending and the beginning tie-up. And the gap imagery, like trying to miss a crack in the sidewalk, and it turns into hell's canyon in mid step, and you're too late to take the last step back, as in a nightmare.

Glad I dropped by here. Everyone's poems made me think.
peace out, y'all.
