Prisoner in the present
steps on a treadmill floor
a wall to our front and back
Trapped in a room with no door
The floor may move fast or slow
but only in one direction
outside dreams grow
with little intellection

Love it! “Intellection” now that’s gonna fly, perhaps not far but it will lift off for sure.
Thanks Cryptic for the read. Daylight savings time robs the pockets of time and the present is no present.
Solomon wrote, we are caught in an evil time.
Indeed and Eclesiastes said there is nothing new under the sun.
Ain't that the truth.
.......................... exemplary poetry will neva loose it's universal appeal .. and that's just me trying to think outside the box .. 😎🐧👍
Thanks Neville yes indeed I think you have something there
Prisoner of memory? Great write, Soren.
That too. Thanks so much for the read and comment. Memory a function of the mind and time and time may be nothing more than a mental construct.
