Nowhere

A father's worry

Where are you going?
 
Eyes of blue.
With your car crash of a life.
Displayed for all the world to see.
Bloated face and gut.
Blind and empty eyes.
Your drug addled brain too far gone to care,
 
Or
 
make sense of where you are.
 
Or
 
Where are you going?
 
Look at me!
I’m the one who sired you.
 
Surrounding yourself with wrecks of human beings playing at life.
Dukkha embodied and ignorant of their and your inherent decay.
 
Walk on by.
Walk on by.
 
Careening down a one way street!
 
You turn into a noble tragedy each pathetic, cowardly, blue face in the carpet ending.  And turn your faces away from the inevitable question.
 
Who is next?
 
You fail and blame.
Fail and blame!
 
Is there any way of reaching you,
As you auction away your life to the lowest bidder?
 
Where are you?
 
Going?
 
Going!

(2012)
