SMALL TOWN MENTALITY- A POEM BY TONY TOKUNBO FERNANDEZ

Image

 

 

          Between The Sheets,

          Lie the same old prisons of stagnant voices

          Stained …..

          Chained ….

          Constrained

         By the Dark shadows of forgotten fantasies

         And the cobwebs that you the in the corner

         Are anxious to define the width of the ceiling

 

       Between The Sheets

       Lie the bareness of a detached world

      The expired stories from Local Champions

       The monotony of an isolated palace

       The perfection of boredom

       A sea of The same faces

       Confined to a world of predictable safety

 

      Between The Sheets

      YOU

       I

      Head above Water

      Perhaps its Time

     To merge the little castle

     Into the mindset of A Mighty Ocean
