Tight Spaces (There is No Plan B)
I drove past the airport today,
heard the numbers swirl,
saw the planes hanging, laden
with shrinking the world.
The last wilderness lies
fathoms below slide-rules
but I can feel the tremors
from submerged questions.
Faster, higher, deeper, farther
scatters our reach to the stars.
I haven't bought new shoes
in months — I have what I need.

There's a clue in the second title, Gabriel. You can blame Jack fo the cryptic - he hounded me about not explaining my poetry, haha. So, no, it's not erotic...
Thanks!
Thanks!

A lot said here, Atakti, in this "less is more" piece. Clever lines such as
"saw the planes hanging, laden
with shrinking the world.
The last wilderness lies
fathoms below slide-rules" and the terrific ending really makes one think of the "space" we occupy here and beyond.

Hey, Tony, thanks! I'm not surprised to see you grasping a few of these thoughts. Pretty much sums it up.

The first stanza is the one that sticks in my mind.
The second line especially just sits in the back of my mind.
Congrats on getting a piece of that dwindling real estate :)
This is one to unravel a while after reading, nice one.

Re: Tight Spaces (There is No Plan B)
reading your poetry is always a bit mysterious, enough room for the expanse of your metaphoric meanings and the weed of thought we readers might sprout from your watering
intrigued by these
submerged questions
and searching for the
wild garden hidden between
the lines of any poem
between the asphalt highways of our dreams
between the suit of sundays
and the howl of my fur
for the moon over the hill
i am the dog that eats all shoes
your bare feet are fine, come
there is fruit in the trees
and climbing is like... well,
get up here and you'll find out

Sometimes the most "unimportant" things, such as new shoes, can bring us back to real life...
To suppress is to feed....
Something like that....

Somewhere on this planet, there's a man who made slippers for himself out of two plastic bottles.
Thanks, Mourganna, for your thoughts.

I'm claustrophobic, sometimes to the point that it chokes me.
I will confess, I do hoard footwear.
Intriguing piece Atakti, great mental stimulation and write. :)
