stranded


by nick nelson



i woke up this morning with a feeling of despair
brushed my teeth and combed my hair
filed my nails and filled out my forms
ready to conform to society’s norms

i had a cup of coffee and a blueberry scone
and checked the messages on my phone
i checked the weather and the time
the planets were properly aligned

i decided not to look at the news
i put on my socks and put on my shoes
i turned the knob and opened the door
but what was i opening it for?

it may be time for a new paradigm
but the decision is not mine
why am i telling you all this?
we are stranded on the highway and lost in the mist
