Tunnel vision
A #poetry thread
—
i.
In a subway station in Prague, I spend
split seconds of vision behind my eyes —
a picture I snap with my mind’s lens
of a lifetrain: one track, with no reprise.

ii.
As the red tram screeches through the gloom,
its blue-white lights pushing back the black,
the image develops in my mind’s darkroom,
in brain chemicals held fast. The track
holds it there and I climb aboard.
No passengers here. It’s not a memory
that I'd choose to keep. It drives me toward
its last stop. Though it moves, it’s not free.

iii.
There in the dark of the tunnel’s pathway,
I take my photograph from the drying line
and airbrush in a vast hub to say
that no matter the pic, my fate is mine.
