The Dynamic Duo

Congratulations! Since I am too lazy to write a new post right now, you get another one of my poems that will leave UltraBob scratching his head and wondering what is going on in his mother’s head! I wrote this one, actually, in late November.
I am thrilled to have Jim home for a couple of days while on his Spring Break. But we have spent the past two evenings trying to complete his Income Tax forms online, so that isn’t much fun.
And now:

CHAINS

What is the connection between human beings—-
We connect in so many ways,
Sometimes like links in a chain.
But is that what I want to be?
A link like others, not too different.
At a glance, You cannot tell me from the rest….
In a way, yes.

Yet in my mind I long to break the chain and soar.
Beyond the sameness,
Beyond mediocrity,
Beyond the confines of comfort and complacency.

Yet I cannot bear to leave it all behind.
What, if in my rashness,

I find I’ve broken the chain too completely
And find myself alone.
Or, could I find another, like myself,
And start to build, not a chain,
But a new connection altogether.
