Persona

A Poem by Dominic

fine to give it up
but then what?
fine to understand its shallowness
but then what?
the alternative isn't exactly easy
not a weekend venture
and I was so expert at the other
everyone knew me as the me I put on
but then what?
it ran out one day
and then what?
I hadn't a cupboard full of alternatives
nothing easy to pull down and heat up
a very empty feeling
clinging to every suggestion and thought
pinching and grasping, or gasping?
anything but empty
and please no rubbish about the journey
I travel plenty
