To Be The Best...is Peaceful

And when you see these athletes in action, you know all your whining, griping and bitching about how boring, purposeless life is, is all hogwash.

Prison

What is happening to me?
I used to love a room full of people
Family, children, women

Now I am diving towards
Solitude, further into strangeness

Face hurting from crying
Grief, clearing the muddled head

Amma, what is happening to me?
"A boy with two wives," you said,
Needling me, seeing me
On the phone with one and
And then the other

Now, having lived ten times over
I am a man with two memories
Tired of this prison
