Blind

A Poem by Tricia O'Brien

She wants something unobtainable

She seeks imaginary things

Countless wishes

A handful of short term rentals

Nothing lasting

Nothing substantial

Boxes line her walls

Years of baggage

Nameless tags

She thinks of shared lives

She entertains the brief commercials

This temporary escape has now expired

A momentary lapse transformed into a decade

An empty town overpopulated

She reaches out to embrace the same unpleasant hollowed vessel that hasn't added a thing

Hasn't added a thing but everything she can't stand

This something unobtainable stands just feet away from her and just waits

Waits and hopes she'll look over, she doesn't

She just passes on by

Blinded by self
