Markers - Tiles

I can’t see inside the present

Staring down the road reflected in the sun

More said than done

I’m immersed in introspection

Setting stones of speculation one by one

Longing for something more

Tomorrow cannot come

While I wish my time away

Safe in my comfort zone

Ignoring cold reality

I can feel the strings attaching

Stumbling blocks overturning under me

Scraping toward

Faint rewards

Fabricating milestones

Living in

Stately whims

At a place beyond my reach

Wanting — searching

Scanning — yearning

Markers guiding me

Skating past

Liquid glass

On my way to something else

I forget

What I get

Before it’s what I’ve got

Planning — tracking

Clipping — posting

Markers sticking to me

Scraping toward

Faint rewards

Skating past

Liquid glass

Cue cards show

All I know

Markers pulling me

Ah…
